The cave was narrow in the outside but wide in the inside. It was shaped like a gourd. Only one person could pass through the narrowest part of the cave entrance, but it immediately became spacious after entering.
For example, Qin Hai and the others were at least 30 feet wide and as tall as a person. It was so dark that one could barely see their own fingers, not to mention looking in from the outside.Therefore, Qin Hai and the others were hiding behind a large rock, so as not to worry about being seen by the person outside.
As the footsteps got closer, a figure quickly entered their line of sight. It was none other than Shi Hu, the person who had brought them up the mountain.
Shi Hu walked carefully and tiptoed forward. He arrived in front of the huge rock where Qin Hai and the rest were.
Qin Hai made a gesture towards Shen Meng and the others. The few of them quietly crouched down and hid in the shadows behind the big rock. Miao Qing and Du Meiqi were so nervous that they even held their breaths, not daring to move an inch.
After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard again. Qin Hai looked again and saw that Shi Hu had already retreated out of the cave.
Qin Hai whispered into Shen Meng's ear, "Xiaoqing and I will follow them and take a look. These people are so secretive, I feel that there's something weird about them."
"It's better if I go with you, that old man's seedling Gu is very powerful, you won't be able to deal with anything that happens." Shen Meng said.
Qin Hai nodded, signalling to Miao Qing and Du Meiqi to stay here and not to go out. He and Shen Meng then quietly left the cave, following behind Shi Hu from a distance.
Shi Hu didn't even notice that someone was following him. He returned to the Green Cloud Temple on the mountain. Qin Hai and Shen Meng quietly made their way to the back door of the Green Dragon Temple and carefully listened to the sounds coming from inside the house. Of course, it was mainly because of Shen Meng that Qin Hai couldn't understand the old man's words.
After listening for a while, Shen Meng turned around and said to Qin Hai, "Shi Hu told the old man that he smelled the perfume left on us in the cave and he confirmed that we have entered the cave."
Just at this moment, another conversation came from within the house. And at the end, the old man let out a roar, causing Shen Meng's expression to change drastically, she turned her head and said softly, "Shi Hu asked the old man if there really is any Five Leaves Grass in the cave, and the old man told him to mind his own business. "Shi Hu also said that the cave is a snake cave. If we enter, we will die. However, that old man yelled at him to quickly go down the mountain.""I knew there was something wrong with this group of people. Just wait here, I'll go deal with the old man." Just as Qin Hai was about to enter the temple, he was stopped by Shen Meng.
Qin Hai frowned, "Are we just going to let this go?"
Shen Meng said: "We are not familiar with this place, safety is our priority, so we should try our best not to alert the enemy." So I think it's best for us to return to the cave first and come back later. I'll say that we didn't dare to go into the deepest part of the cave and then leave immediately after. "
Qin Hai pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement with Shen Meng's suggestion.
Shen Meng's words were reasonable, not to mention that the old man's sapling Gu was hard to guard against, he had even brought along Shen Meng and the other two, if something happened, it would be hard for him to protect all three of them, so right now it was best to leave this strange mountain stronghold safely.
However, just as they were about to return to the cave, a black cat suddenly and soundlessly appeared at the back door of the temple. It was the black cat that the old man had kept.The black cat remained motionless as it looked at Qin Hai and Shen Meng who were hiding in a corner. The pair of cat eyes gave off a horrifying feeling.
Shen Meng couldn't help but take a step back. Qin Hai quickly waved his hand, signaling the black cat to enter the house.
Unexpectedly, not only did the black cat not enter the room, it suddenly mewled twice, then grimaced and let out a wuwu sound.F * ck me!
Qin Hai was greatly shocked. Was this guy even a cat? He must have gained intelligence!
Without much time to think, he carried Shen Meng on his shoulder and quickly left the mountain. Their speed was extremely fast. It was only after they had turned a corner that they managed to help Shen Meng squat down behind a thick bush.
Raising his head to take a look, he saw that the old man had already appeared at the back entrance of the temple, holding the black cat in his arms. The old man gently caressed the fur on the black cat's body. He stared at them with a pair of cold eyes, his expression incomparably solemn.
In that instant, Qin Hai suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a venomous snake. He hurriedly squatted on the ground, allowing Shen Meng to rest on his back. He then carried her on his back and sped away.
He ran at top speed, the half an hour journey for Qin Hai was over in ten minutes. When he arrived outside the cave, he finally put down Shen Meng.
"That black cat is too strange. I felt like it was going to bite me!" Recalling the situation from a moment ago, Shen Meng was still a little afraid.
Qin Hai looked up the mountain, "This place is very strange. You must be careful. Let's go find Little Qing and the others first. "
After entering the cave, the two of them got used to the pitch-black environment and soon found the big rock from before. However, there was no one behind the big rock. Neither Miao Qing nor Du Meiqi was there."Where are Meiqi and the others?" Shen Meng asked in surprise. She then shouted out a few times, but got no response. Du Meiqi and Miao Qing seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Qin Hai searched around outside the cave and returned empty-handed.
"They're not outside. Did they go into the cave?" Qin Hai said as he looked at the dark depths of the cave.
"It can't be, Meiqi is the youngest, she definitely won't dare to enter!" Shen Meng did not hesitate to deny Qin Hai's words.In fact, Qin Hai also felt that the possibility of this happening was very small. Neither Du Meiqi nor Miao Qing were bold people. If Xiao Nan was here, perhaps they would even dare to enter the cave to investigate.
However, there were no traces of them outside the cave. Could it be that they flew away into thin air?
Shen Meng stomped her feet in anxiety, repeatedly regretting her decision. Qin Hai was also extremely anxious, but he still maintained his calm as he carefully observed the situation inside the cave.
It was too dark inside the cave. He couldn't see his own fingers in front of him. Even though Qin Hai had excellent eyesight, he couldn't see into the depths of the cave. The pitch-black cave was like the gaping mouth of a monster, capable of devouring anything that entered it.
Qin Hai took out his cell phone and switched on the flashlight. The strong light immediately lit up the cave.
"Look, there are footprints here!"
Qin Hai's eyes suddenly lit up as he helped Shen Meng to a puddle. Next to the puddle, a few muddy footprints could be clearly seen. Judging by the size and quantity of the footprints, it should have been left behind by Du Meiqi and Miao Qing.
"They went in!" Qin Hai and Shen Meng looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
