As Meng Anxin spoke, she wiped her own blood on the stone door.
Although Gu Wenyu didn't understand why only their blood was useful, she didn't ask in detail and just nodded.
However, after the blood had been wiped off, the stone door remained motionless. It was exactly the same as the previous door. There should be a key missing.
Gu Wenyu did have the key. She took out Meng Anxin's key, which she snatched back from the scholar in white.
Now I have the key, but I can't find the keyhole.
Huo Huo groped around on the stone door bit by bit, and finally found something strange at the place where Meng Anxin had wiped blood.
"Master, it seems to be here." Huohuo said while digging at the stone door with his hands.
Gu Wenyu and Meng Anxin both went over to take a look. Under Huo Huo's hand, the stone wall seemed to be different from other places.
That piece happened to be part of the mural. It was the key that the tall man with two horns gave to the little human boy. The location of the key was slightly lower than the stone wall next to it, which was exactly the place to put the key.
Gu Wenyu always thought that the key in her hand was like an ordinary door, with a keyhole or something like that. She never thought that this key was directly embedded in the stone door.
Gu Wenyu tried to press the key in his hand into the shallow groove, but he just put it down and it fit perfectly.
The moment the key came into contact with the mural, the groove that Huo Huo had been unable to press came loose. Gu Wenyu just pressed the key and pressed lightly, and the key was deeply embedded in the stone door, replacing the original key on the mural.
Meng Anxin reached out and pressed hard on the key, and blood flowed out again and fell on the key.
The heavy stone door came loose and was slowly pushed open by Gu Wenyu and Huo Huo.
For a moment, the aroma of medicine hit my nostrils, and Huo Huo fired his flashlight inside, only to see that both sides of the mountain wall were covered with small mushrooms that looked like Ganoderma lucidum.
"Master, master, look quickly, are those the Medicine Kings?" Huohuo called Gu Wenyu excitedly.
Gu Wenyu was not sure what these things were, so she subconsciously looked at Meng Anxin.
Meng Anxin also looked confused, "I, I don't know, it's my first time here too."
Gu Wenyu thought for a while but still didn't pick the "mushroom" on the mountain wall rashly. She took the flashlight in Huohuo's hand and continued walking inside, "Go in and take a look first."
"Oh, okay." The kid Huo Huo was robbed of his flashlight and ran after Gu Wenyu while taking out a new flashlight.
Meng Anxin hesitated for a moment. She looked at the dark corridor behind her, and then at the long corridor with two flashlight lights in front of her. Finally, she gritted her teeth and moved forward to catch up with Gu Wenyu and Huohuo.
The three of them walked all the way in. Both sides of the mountain wall were covered with large and small "mushrooms". At first glance, it looked like the mountain wall was moldy, so people with trypophobia should be cautious about entering.
"Senior Dahei, those mushrooms seem to be looking at me." Meng Anxin shrank her neck and felt countless pairs of eyes staring at her.
"?" Gu Wenyu looked around after hearing this. The densely packed mushrooms didn't seem to have anything special except for looking a little uncomfortable.
Huohuo also used his flashlight to shine on the mushrooms on the mountain wall, "No, are you too nervous?"
Meng Anxin hugged herself with her arms and said timidly: "But... I really feel that they are all looking at me."
Gu Wenyu frowned, and she took a closer look at the mushrooms around her. Is there really something wrong with these mushrooms?
"Master, what's wrong with these mushrooms?" Huohuo raised his head.
Gu Wenyu sniffed and smelled carefully. In addition to the smell of vegetation, there seemed to be a strange smell, but that smell... was neither demonic nor evil, it was very weird.
It's very light, if Gu Wenyu hadn't been close enough to smell it, he wouldn't have noticed it.
"I don't know what it is. Let's be careful." Gu Wenyu looked solemn, but she had no time to hesitate. Xuan She was still outside waiting for her to save her life. She had to find Medicine King and get out as soon as possible.
"Is there really a problem?" Huohuo's little head was almost pressed against the mountain wall. He really couldn't see anything weird about those mushrooms.
"Really, they are all looking at me." Meng Anxin said with emphasis, for fear that the other two would not believe it.
"Why are you looking at you and not me? Am I not handsome?" Huo Huo pursed his lips, looking a little aggrieved.
Gu Wenyu also looked at Meng Anxin, and she said thoughtfully: "Maybe it has something to do with the blood in her body."
"They, they won't want to suck my blood, right?" Meng Anxin almost cried when she heard this.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I don't think they have any ill intentions towards you." Gu Wenyu comforted him without any care.
"Really, is it true..." Meng Anxin was still timid and not very at ease.
"Ahem~ It's okay, something happened." Gu Wenyu patted Meng Anxin on the shoulder, and then continued deeper into the cave.
Huohuo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, Huohuo will protect you!"
"You're welcome, it's a small matter." Huo Huo waved his hand boldly, completely forgetting that he had collectively lost Meng Anxin before.
The three of them continued deeper into the cave, and only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard in the cave.
…
"Woof woof woof!" After walking a little further inside, I suddenly heard a dog barking.
"Master, be careful." Huo Huo immediately became alert. He hugged Gu Wenyu and Meng Anxin behind him, his body full of demonic aura, and he let out a low roar like a wild beast.
"Woof woof woof!" Two ferocious-looking vicious dogs suddenly sprang out from the depths of the cave. They were more like wolves than dogs.
It is covered with shiny black hair, has two wings on its back, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and its sharp claws are like skeleton claws, with bones connected to the sharp claws. It looks very scary.
If the two ferocious beasts hadn't barked from their mouths, Gu Wenyu would never have made contact with the dogs.
Gu Wenyu did not smell any evil spirit or demonic energy from the two big black dogs, but instead felt a familiar aura.
"Ah!" Meng Anxin backed away in fear. Foxes are most afraid of dogs, let alone two such big dogs.
"Ho ho ho!" Huo Huo then transformed into his true form and stood in front of Gu Wenyu and Meng Anxin with a fierce look on his face.
"Woof woof woof!" The big black dog rushed towards Huo Huo.
At this moment, Shuxiang's voice sounded in Gu Wenyu's mind, "It's Moon Eater."
Gu Wenyu's pupils shrank sharply and shouted: "Huo Huo, get out of the way!"
"Roar?" Huo Huo couldn't hold back his strength at all, but when Gu Wenyu shouted, his momentum suddenly weakened a bit.
Two big black dogs threw Huo Huo down, pinned him to the ground and beat him.
"Moon-eating double swords!" Gu Wenyu shouted from a distance.
"Woof woof woof!" The two big black dogs raised their heads, but they did not look at Gu Wenyu, but at Meng Anxin beside Gu Wenyu.
