Chapter 19 Light in the dark distance

Lu Lie touched the cold and bare jade talisman on his waist. He smiled bitterly: The reason why I can use my thoughts in front of me is that the blind cat hits a dead mouse. I don’t know when the next time I will encounter such a great fortune. It’s impossible for me to use this trick when I happened to be ripped off with the cannibal owl, right?

But he still said softly: "I understand. Thank you."

A very beautiful voice paused in the darkness and replied softly: "What are you thanking? If it weren't for the current situation, would you think I would be willing to join forces with you, the little rogue?"

Lu Lie smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise." But he became more and more worried: the tree hole is really weird, and I don't know what danger is lurking in front of us. Four of the five of us were seriously injured and lost their combat power. The only guy who was basically intact was determined to kill us. Props like "Shiji Talisman" were supposed to be used to protect everyone, but they had to kill each other with them.

He looked at the very beautiful outline around him again and thought to himself: This very beautiful origin is also suspicious. She is obviously a secret savage, so why do she carry props like Shikigami talismans? And seeing her conversation, she should be pampered since she was a child. Why did a lady from a wealthy family come to take risks in this ghost place? She not only uses a pseudonym, but also seems to deliberately avoid her purpose of coming here. It is really full of fog.

Forget it. These companions are all unknown from each other, and which one is unquestionable? Li Yuan calls himself a magic fruit hunter but is proficient in secret techniques and Shikigami. Yang Wei looks honest and loyal. But in the novel, isn’t it often the more sinister and cunning people like this? Thinking about it now, the one I know the most among these four people is the cannibal owl. It’s really ironic.

Among the five people, except for Li Yuan, who was already infatuated, each had their own thoughts along the way and walked in a hurry. I don’t know how long I had walked in the darkness, but suddenly the cannibal owl at the end said hoarsely: “Stop, I see two candles in front of me.”

Yang Wei widened his eyes and said blankly: "Where is the light? Why didn't I see it at all?"

Logically speaking, as long as a little light appears in such a dark cave, it will look particularly eye-catching. However, Lu Lie had seen how terrible the eyes of the cannibal owl were, and knew that he could hardly read it wrong. He stopped at the moment. He held the very beautiful hand with one hand and grabbed Li Yuan's rope with the other. Li Yuan, who was walking happily in the dark, was forced to stop and make a big fuss: "Why don't you let me continue to walk? Unhappy! Unhappy! Nowhere near unhappy!"

"There is no sound of animals in this ghost place, and candlelight actually appears." Lu Lie said in a deep voice, "Can anyone else besides us have come here? I see that the candlelight is very suspicious. If you want to move forward, you still need to observe."

"But we urgently need light." Qimei made the opposite opinion, "Yang Wei was seriously injured and had to go to a visible place to deal with the wound. We threw away so many supplies in the melee, and we urgently needed to calculate how many days the remaining things were enough for us to eat. Moreover, it was gloomy in the darkness, and I always felt that... if there was something to look at us not far away, it would be better to go to the candlelight quickly."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about me..." Yang Wei whispered, "When I was in Kanto, I suffered more injuries than I am now, so I have survived well... I think Super Brother is right. The sudden appearance of candlelight here is too suspicious. I, Yang Wei, is a reckless man and has no brains. The Super Brother's mind is much more flexible than me, and I am willing to listen to him."

For a moment, the five people had different opinions and they could not stand still.

Lu Lie was silent for a while: "Since no one can convince anyone, then vote. If you want to continue moving forward, knock on the ground. If you are willing to stay in place and watch, knock on the two. Those who abstain from keeping silent."

After he finished speaking, he squatted down, made a hammer-shaped hand and gently tapped the cold and stiff ground twice.

Following him, Yang Wei also reached the ground and knocked it twice.

Very beautiful was silent for a while and said, "The opportunity is fleeting. We are still hesitating here. After a while, the candlelight disappeared and we can't find it again." She immediately bounced her nails on the ground.

"It's one to two now," said Lu Lie. "It seems we should really stay and have a rest."

At this time, another crisp knock came from behind.

"Old bird?" Yang Wei said in surprise, "Do you think you should move forward immediately?"

In the darkness, two sneers from the cannibal owl came. Obviously, he didn't care whether he was moving forward or not, just wanted to make the team more chaotic, the better.

"Two to two, it's tied. Super little brother, what should I do now?" Yang Wei's IQ was obviously not enough, so he asked in distress.

Before Lu Lie could speak, Li Yuan started to make a big fuss: "Why don't you leave? Don't hold me back if you don't want to leave. You still don't allow me to leave!"

"Hehe." Very beautiful couldn't help but laugh, "How is it? Judging from Li Yuan's meaning, he also praised the establishment of the Forward. Now he has surpassed the situation by 3 to 2, right?"

"Nonsense!" Lu Lie said coldly, "Li Yuan looks like a child now, probably not as smart as Yang Wei. How can he count it?"

Yang Wei: “…”

Obviously very beautiful when she was on land, she was able to hold back her temper and bargain with Lu Lie until now. Now she raised her eyebrows and the eldest lady's temper was: "This one is not allowed, that one is not allowed. Then I think you are just waiting to starve to death! Anyway, there is always no danger when you stay in the same place. There are so many big men here, but I am not as brave as me! If you don't go, I will go to explore the way forward alone."

She immediately threw Lu Lie's hand away and walked straight forward. Lu Lie was startled and took a few steps forward to catch her: "Don't be impulsive! You have to go together if you want to leave. In this darkness, the lonely person is too easy to be attacked!..."

"Ha. Isn't this very good?" The cannibal said sarcastically from behind, "Let her, the yellow-haired girl, go to explore the road ahead. If she survives, it means that there is a safe place, and it's not too late for us to go there. If she dies there, it means that there is indeed something wrong with the candlelight. It wouldn't be great if she saved the four of us in one life."

Lu Lie wanted to grab the very beautiful hand. But when he grabbed it in the dark, how could he find the very beautiful?

I heard the girl's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and it was obvious that she was very beautiful and had already strode towards the candlelight.
