As the strange aroma grew stronger, Qin Hai suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger. It was as if he had been starved for a very long time. He couldn"t wait to walk forward, as if there were a table full of delicious food in front of him. He couldn"t help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Three m.u.f.fled sounds suddenly came from behind him, waking Qin Hai up from his dazed state. He didn"t have time to think. When he looked back, Shen Meng and the others had already jumped down from the stalact.i.te pillar.
Qin Hai was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, all the black beetles had already escaped, so it didn"t matter even if they came down.
Qin Hai hurriedly stopped Shen Meng and the others. After shaking them for a while, he finally woke them up from their dazed state. Shen Meng looked around and asked in surprise, "Why did I come down?"
"It smells so good. Right, we entered the cave because we smelled it earlier!" Du Meiqi suddenly said.
Miao Qing also said with certainty, "Yes, this is the smell!"
"This fragrance is very strange. It can confuse a person"s mind!" Qin Hai told the three girls what he had done and warned them to be on their guard.
Shen Meng was shocked. She thought for a moment before taking out a small bottle from her backpack and placed the medicine bottles near their mouths and noses.
"I made it myself. The smell is bad so it should be effective."
The smell of the potion was really unpleasant, but it was perfect to resist the strange aroma. The few of them were no longer in a dazed state.
"Big Brother Qin!" While Shen Meng was still helping Du Meiqi to apply the medicine, Miao Qing walked up to Qin Hai and looked at him emotionally. Tears were streaming down her face, and her eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. She was extremely emotional.
Seeing this scene, Shen Meng and Du Meiqi also went silent. Thinking back to the scene where Qin Hai was surrounded by countless black beetles, their hearts started to hurt and their eyes turned red.
Qin Hai raised his hand to wipe away Miao Qing"s tears and said with a smile, "What"s wrong?" I am fine! "
Miao Qing lowered his head, wiping away his tears as he sobbed, "If something were to happen to you, I wouldn"t go back alone." Her voice wasn"t loud, but it was firm.
Qin Hai let out a sigh as he gently patted Miao Qing"s back with his arm, "Okay, it"s over. Don"t be sad!"
Shen Meng sighed, "It was really too dangerous just now. You better not take such a risk in the future."
Qin Hai let go of Miao Qing and said with a smile, "I can"t possibly let you two accompany me on this adventure. If there was any other way, I wouldn"t have done that. However, it seems that my decision was right. Nothing has happened to everyone. "
Du Meiqi quietly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, pursed her lips and snorted, "You are the thousand years that this calamity has lasted!"
"Hahaha, I remember that someone was crying as well!" Qin Hai looked at Du Meiqi with a teasing expression.
Du Meiqi"s face turned red from embarra.s.sment, and she retorted with a red face and thick neck, "I … That was sand in my eyes! "
"Really?" Qin Hai winked at her and asked with a smile.
Du Meiqi"s face turned red as she stamped her feet, holding onto Shen Meng"s arm and scolded, "Aunt, he bullied me!"
Shen Meng and Miao Qing laughed.
After laughing for a while, the tension in the crowd had completely dissipated. Qin Hai noticed that the strange aroma still hadn"t dispersed, so he turned to Shen Meng and said, "Sister Shen, this fragrance is too strange. Not only can it confuse people, I suspect that the sudden departure of those black beetles is also related to it. I want to see what it is. Maybe I can find a way out. "
Shen Meng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let"s go together. If not, we"ll give up immediately. We"ll look for another way out."
Afterward, the four of them followed the path they had taken to return to the cave. They soon arrived at the fork in the road and discovered that the fragrance was coming from the pa.s.sage on their right.
It was still Qin Hai walking in front. He held the machete he had just pulled out from the top of the cave and carefully guarded against any movement. However, along the way, the cave was very quiet. There were no longer any snakes or insects.
The further they walked, the stronger the fragrance became. After a while, the few of them had no choice but to rub the medicine on their mouths and noses again to protect themselves from the strong smell.
The cave was abnormally quiet. Along the way, they didn"t see a single black beetle, nor did they encounter any rats or snakes, nor did they encounter any other strange things. The entire cave was deathly silent.
After walking for about ten minutes, Qin Hai suddenly stopped. He had a strange feeling that something was staring at them, and at the same time a strong sense of danger was approaching.
"What happened? Is it dangerous?" Shen Meng asked in a low voice.
Qin Hai nodded, "We can"t go any further. Let"s go back!"
Although the fragrance was very strong, and even though they had applied medicine to it, they were still unable to resist the strong temptation, but Qin Hai still decisively made his decision.
This was because that strong sense of danger was becoming increasingly stronger! This was Qin Hai"s sixth sense, practiced countless times on the edge of life and death, it was very effective, he believed that his judgement was absolutely correct. What awaited them in front of them was not a table full of people, nor any surprise, but a huge crisis.
Without hesitation, the group turned around and swiftly returned along the same route.
However, at this time, a strange sound came from within the cave. It was a kind of rubbing sound, which was getting louder and clearer, as if there was something huge sliding on the ground and was quickly approaching them.
"Sister Shen, you guys go first. Run!" Qin Hai had no time to think any further as he urged Shen Meng to bring along Du Meiqi and Miao Qingxun to escape. He held onto his machete as he turned around to face them.
Just as they advanced a short distance, a gigantic python appeared in Qin Hai"s line of sight. Section error, click on this report (no registration), after reporting the maintenance personnel will correct chapter content within two minutes, please wait patiently, and refresh the page.
