Chapter 4 of Part 1: Secret Passage, Narrow Escape (9)

  I slowed down my breathing, held my breath and concentrated on feeling around on the ground, when suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder, I was startled, cold sweat immediately broke out on my back.

  "Rozego, what's this?" Jin Douzi said in a very calm tone, and my heart finally put down.

  "What did you find?" I looked around cautiously, didn't see Di Gui's shadow, then followed Jin Douzi's pointing direction, at first it was pitch black, but after Jin Douzi removed the top few wooden sticks, a blue light appeared in front of me.

  "Just now when I came to pick up the sticks, I had just picked up a few and found that there was a bright light here, so I walked over, took away the sticks, and underneath was this thing." Jin Douzi said as he placed a blue grain in his palm.

  "Is this thing alive or dead?" I gazed at Jin Douzi's every move in incredulity.

  "Die!" Golden Bean said as he gently pressed the blue grain in his palm and said, "It seems to be sand!"

  Jin Douzi finished speaking and handed something over to me, I hesitated for a moment, still took it with trepidation, placed it in my palm, and pressed it gently with my fingers, indeed as hard as a stone, only then did I put my mind at ease.

  Jin Douzi stretched out his hand towards the place that was flashing with blue light again, and suddenly said: "Strange, why is this soil so cool? It seems to be frozen!"

  As soon as his voice fell, I suddenly felt that the blue particles in my hand seemed to be trembling slightly. My heart was startled, and I used my fingers to gently press the blue particles again. At this time, the blue particles in my hand had already begun to soften a bit. At the same time, Jin Douzi pushed me again, pointing to our heads, and I looked up in confusion, then sat down on the ground with a thud.

  I don't know when dozens of blue light spots gathered above our heads, this is not a joke, they are swirling above our heads, the light is flashing, I am staring blankly.

  "What's that?" Jin Douzi asked dazedly, and I immediately covered his mouth. Suddenly, the blue particle in my palm began to vibrate, and I looked down at it. In an instant, it flew out of my hand. Jin Douzi stared at me incredulously, and I quickly pushed him away, using the mud beside us to cover up the thing that was still flashing with blue light. The blue light point seemed to be summoned by its companions and flew upwards, and I quickly picked up the remaining dozen or so wooden sticks and prepared to head towards the cave entrance.

  But who would have thought that at this moment, a "slapping" sound suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the speed of approach was very fast. It seemed that the earthworm had really rested enough by now. At this time, those blue light spots began to gather again, gathering bigger and brighter, and Jin Douzi standing beside me stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

  I thought it might be the sound of the earthworms jumping that enraged these strange things, who would have thought that when they were all gathered together they flew straight towards me, I quickly pushed away Jin Douzi and pounced to one side.

  As soon as I landed on the ground, I felt a heavy object hitting my body. When I came to my senses and looked around, that land tortoise had fallen into my arms. Looking at the blue light ball again, it didn't succeed in one hit, and it rushed towards me again without any slack, just hitting the land tortoise's body again. The land tortoise weighed over 100 kilograms, and after being hit, its body convulsed violently. I took advantage of this to crawl out from under its body and quickly ran towards Jin Douzi's direction.

  I and Jin Douzi stood still beside Di Gui, watching as the blue light rushed into Di Gui's body. Di Gui struggled with all his might, but in just a moment he was no longer moving. Seeing that Di Gui's belly had completely turned blue, like it had been painted with fluorescent paint, suddenly a blue light point drilled out from Di Gui's body, and I thought to myself "this is not good", this thing may attack us next time.

  Thinking of this, we took the opportunity to pick up all the wooden sticks on the ground. I had more than 20 in my hand and Jin Douzi had over 10 in his hand. Then we quietly retreated backwards, and after exiting the hundred-meter range, we immediately accelerated towards the entrance of the cave.
