Chapter 57: Intuitive Choices
Outside the cave, Mai and Langga and others were waiting. According to the rules of the hunting team, if someone had an accident inside, the hunting team would wait at the entrance of the cave for a day, and after a day, they would continue to hunt.
There are losses in people every year, but hunting still has to continue, and it is the same if you lack anyone.
"A Xuan should be fine, right?" Lang Ga walked around the cave entrance, looking very anxious. He wanted to go in and look for someone, but the situation here made him stop. He didn't remember the passages to both sides of the mountain. His understanding of the caves in the mountain was far less than that of the old soldiers like Mai and others. Even these old soldiers were helpless, so he had no choice.
"Well, A Xuan is so lucky. He can even kill the thorns and black wind, and maybe he can get out of it." Ang also said.
Others also echoed the comfort, but some older soldiers had a different view in their hearts. They were different from young people like Langga. They had experienced too many things, and even if they hadn't experienced them personally, they had heard of some of them.
The situation in this mountain is much more troublesome than the thorns and black wind. Killing the thorns and black wind can be said to be due to luck. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the thorns and black wind has decreased a lot in the cold environment, so it was killed by A Xuan. But this is different.
When the ancestors opened up this hunting route, how many people had lost to find such a passage. But A Xuan was just a child who had just awakened the power of totem for a while. In terms of strength, who could he compare in the hunting team?
Although he comforted Lang Ga and his friends and said that A Xuan was lucky, in fact, the old soldiers in the team were thinking: Why is this child so unlucky? He just escaped from the mouth of the thorny black wind, and encountered an accident in the cave and could not even look for it.
Some people join, some people will leave. Fortunately and misfortune are just that. What can Ah Xuan do if even the ancestors cannot escape? Since the opening of this route, no one who has disappeared in the cave has been able to come out again. It’s a pity that such a good seedling is so good that he wants to go back and see him on the road of glory, but he ends up losing here. Alas...
Mai's mood would not be good after the team lost people, not to mention that this person was always optimistic. Because he knew that no one could come out again after the hole was lost, Mai kept sitting there, silent. He regretted that he should be more cautious at that time. If he had noticed that there was an extra hole above, if he had not put too much attention on the eyeless spider at that time, this might not have happened.
At the same time, Shao Xuan, who was standing at the fork, was also very confused.
There are only one of the three paths that he was dragged through, and the other two may lead to other places in the mountains. If he takes the wrong step, he will probably not be able to get out.
Take a deep breath to calm your irritable mood as much as possible.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan remembered that on the night of awakening, the witch said when she "studyed" them, "The power of fire can tell you the most correct direction, just like in the oldest era, when the ancestors illuminated the night with flames."
intuition……
The intuition brought by the power of fire...
Shao Xuan activated the totem power in his body, and the flame body wrapped around the totem's horns suddenly increased in his mind.
Looking at the three intersections in front of him steadily.
After a while, Shao Xuan raised his foot and walked towards the cave in the middle.
The cave is very quiet now, and the eyeless spider and other insects are missing. Shao Xuan has been walking along the cave, but soon...
Your uncle!!
What about intuition?
What about the power of the fire that can guide the right direction?!
All are lying!!
That old witch!
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the stone insect king insect, Shao Xuan would probably have cursed loudly.
He was now sure that he was walking was not the path he had been dragged before. Even if he didn't remember which path he came out at the fork, he could remember how many hits he had been hit.
When he was dragged by the insect, he would hit the hole wall every time he passed a corner, but now, the corner Shao Xuan passed by more than he had been hit before! And until now, he didn't feel familiar at all!
So, intuition strikes?
Relying on the hole wall, Shao Xuan grabbed his head.
Why are you so unlucky?
He didn't do anything bad in the tribe, and he helped the thin children in the hole, why did he always encounter some unlucky things?
Could it be...
Shao Xuan remembered that during the sacrificial ceremony of the Snow Festival, others were praying, but he was thinking about the changes in his body. At the ceremony before the hunting, he did not sing the "Hunting Song" with other soldiers, and he still fooled him without changing his face. Could it be that this is retribution?
So the totems and fire that the witch has always said to protect the tribe’s people will no longer protect him?
Let’s talk nonsense!
If he could really protect himself, the ancestors in Lang Ga's mouth would not have been left here.
As he thought about it, Shao Xuan's face gradually became colder. If there was light, he could still see the gradually deeper chill in his eyes.
Shao Xuan, who was originally leaning against the cave wall, suddenly jumped up.
And the next moment when Shao Xuan jumped up, the position where he was just now, a whip shadow was thrown on the wall of the cave.
squeak--
The serrated teeth at the front end of the antennae are cut on the hole wall, making a sharp sound.
It was that bug, the guy who dragged him over!
If you hit the same trick once, it is a lesson. If you hit the same trick again, it would be stupid!
In Shao Xuan's vision, the insect was composed of some thin skeletons. It looked like those similar to bones were not reliable, but in fact it was not the case. The extremely thin skeletons not only could firmly support the insect, but also allowed the insect to move faster, and made almost no sound when running in the hole.
In addition to those extremely thin skeletons, the insect also has a hard shell on its back, which serves as a protective effect. The most dangerous thing is the pair of tentacles. No, it is no longer a pair. When it was catching Shao Xuan, it was cut off one by Shao Xuan.
However, compared to the armor-like hard thorns of the Thorns Black Wind, this bug is much weaker. Its advantage is nothing more than unexpected sneak attacks and getting cheap, but it is not undefeated when it comes to the right.
On the territory of the Stone Worm King Cuck, the King Cuck can give favors to some minions to rest here, but species that are slightly threatening will naturally not be allowed.
Obviously, it was not only Shao Xuan who held grudges, but he hated the insect so much that itched, but also the insect that hated Shao Xuan and cut off one of its tentacles.
The insect was very angry without throwing it to the point of being tyrannical. It stood up halfway and used two pairs of feet to stabilize the balance of the body. The two front limbs, which were like sickles, had cold blades, and were ruthlessly cutting towards Shao Xuan who was leaping up like crazy.
After leaping up, Shao Xuan stepped on the top of the cave with his feet, and the top of the cave instantly cracked.
With the top of the cave, Shao Xuan suddenly turned around in the air, instead of retreating, and rushed towards the insect with a knife.
Here, the insect has the advantage of geographical location, and Shao Xuan may not be able to run past it now.
They are all revenge, so they must take revenge as soon as possible. Moreover, according to the style of the insect, if you want to solve it, you cannot delay time and must fight quickly.
One person and one worm were originally nearly ten meters away, which was about the same length as the tentacles of the insect. But after Shao Xuan rushed, the distance of ten meters was completely eliminated.
The half-standing insects were still waving their forelimbs, almost blocking the entire section of the cave. The airflow brought up was like a knife scraping, causing pain on Shao Xuan's face.
The tooth knife blocked a cut-out forelimb. The explosion-like collision made Shao Xuan's entire arm numb, but it did not stop. He quickly turned over, crossed the knife light, and broke into the back of the insect.
Shao Xuan stepped on the cave wall with his right foot, aimed at the junction of the insect's back armor and his head, and cut it towards its extended neck like lightning. There was no protection of the back armor, nor the hard shell like a shield on his head.
When he found that Shao Xuan had actually reached the back, the insect realized that something was wrong, but now he could not defend himself. The long tentacles had not been retracted yet, and the two forelimbs could not be retracted. He hurriedly retracted the tentacles and wanted to pull Shao Xuan who had reached the back, but it was still a little slower.
Even if the tooth knife is gone, it is still hard. Even if there are some gaps in the blade, it is enough to cut the insect's neck!
puff!
The tooth knife went from top to bottom and passed through the softest neck of the insect.
The length of the tooth knife is limited, and only half of it can be cut off, but only this half is enough to make it lose its combat power, and even the long tentacles recovered are soft and weak.
Shao Xuan pulled back his knife and took the opportunity to make up for it. This time, he almost cut off the entire head of the insect.
The waving forelimbs was no longer powerful, and the retreating tentacles had fallen softly to the ground. The half-standing insect body finally fell down.
While gasping, Shao Xuan moved his arm, which was still numb and painful, walked over, chopped the long tentacle left by the insect, and held it in his hand.
After resting for a while, Shao Xuan planned to leave.
There are insect corpses here. I wonder if it will attract other insects in the cave, so I have to leave here immediately.
Standing sideways in the middle of the cave, on the left, continue walking, on the right, and retreat.
Should I continue walking forward or retreat back to that fork again?
Perhaps, after returning, you can return to the one you choose again. However, you may also choose the wrong choice again and encounter other invincible creatures.
Time is tight, Shao Xuan has to make a decision immediately.
After closing his eyes and thinking quietly for a while, Shao Xuan turned to the left. This time, it was not based on the intuition brought by the fire, but the two horns with flames were almost blocked in his mind. At the same time, the egg-shaped light covering the totem became brighter and brighter. But the choice was still this one.
Opening his eyes, Shao Xuan took the tentacles and continued to move forward.
