With a "click", the fire started to burn, and the wall of the cave was instantly illuminated.

When Pu Boyu saw Hua Jianbai, he wanted to throw away his tinder and hug her. But he suddenly remembered that his body was covered in dirt and mud, so he withdrew his arms.

"Ayu, did you fall into the shit pot?"

As expected, Hua Jianbai covered his nose, stepped back a little, and pointed at him with a look of disgust.

Pu Boyu smiled and scratched his head: "Aunt, it took me a long time to find you."

Ning Xiusu also smelled the foul odor, which could not be dispelled in the cave at all.

Pu Boyu opened the night pot without saying a word and handed it to the two of them.

Ning Xiusu was choked for a moment: "..."

Hua Jianbai wanted to yue as soon as he opened his mouth. He really wanted to snap his fingers and give him a bang on the head!

"Nephew, what are you doing? You're carrying a shit pot around with you."

Hearing his aunt getting angry, Pu Boyu felt aggrieved:

"This mine is really weird, and the monsters there are even weirder. They have problems with their noses, but if you put this on them, they won't attack."

Ning Xiusu said "Oh" and said, "As the saying goes, if a spear touches shit, whoever it pokes will die... Is that what you mean, Flower Guard?"

He looked at Hana Jianbai with interest. Hana Jianbai pinched his nose and shrank back, "You damn villain, if you want it, go ahead."

"Actually, this thing doesn't do much, but there's definitely something wrong with this monster's nose."

Ning Xiusu walked forward and said:

"It must be the people in this mine who have medicinal aura on them, which is why they were attacked."

"Medicinal gas?"

Hua Jianbai was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"We should have all taken some kind of potion since we got here."

Hanamibai thought of something: "No wonder those guys always blow the whistle."

"Yes, yes, yes." Pu Boyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "I'm in the mine and I can't stand the whistle."

Ning Xiusu tucked a piece of deerskin paper into his pocket and said, "So, the worst-case scenario is that this whistle-controlled poison is related to the Song family's recipe."

"Uncle Wow, your analysis makes a lot of sense. Do you have any way to help us detoxify?"

Ning Xiusu said, "I'm not a miracle doctor. You can come to me for common colds."

Hanami was defeated and limped behind. "Ayu, don't you see how this broken mine is? There's not even a herb. How can we detoxify it?"

Pu Boyu then scratched his head and asked, "But uncle, are you poisoned?"

Now even the pulse is gone...

Ning Xiusu paused and said boredly, "Maybe."

Hua Jianbai walked in front, holding a wooden stick, and then turned back, "Hey, stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

As the three of them were talking, they groped their way forward. The walls of the cave became narrower and narrower, and in the end they twisted and turned like a karst cave.

The stalactites were in all sorts of strange shapes, and the ground was wet, covered in vines and moss. Only a little light shone through the cracks, and even with the light of a tinderbox, it was still dim.

The further you go, the more you smell a strange bloody stench that makes your back feel cold.

"hiss--"

The whistling sound like the chirping of insects sounded again, and the sound was almost exactly the same as that in the man-eating cave.

Hua Jianbai was slightly startled when he heard the sound, "Oh no, there's movement."

At this time, Pu Boyu's face turned pale. "Auntie, it's over. Damn it! Those monsters are out again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow fell to the ground, supporting himself with his long and thin arms. His pale face was covered with a cracked mouth that stretched from his ears to the back, and his bloody eyes stared at the three men.

Hua Jianbai felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and he couldn't help but want to run, but his feet hurt, so he could only move towards Ning Xiusu.

Unexpectedly, the monster took a step forward and immediately retreated hurriedly as if it was smoked, while still roaring at the top of its lungs.

"Hey, auntie, I told you this shit pot works!"

Pu Boyu proudly held the chamber pot and offered the night incense to the monster. The monster seemed very scared and took a few steps back in horror. He became more confident in his own intelligence and even felt a little inflated.

Hua Jianbai noticed something was amiss. These monsters were clearly afraid of the people around them. He recalled the time in the interrogation room when these monsters didn't dare to approach...

He looked at Ning Xiusu, "Big villain, you're so amazing! Let me use it too."

Ning Xiusu replied, "I'm afraid that thing is lost. It's not with me."

"So, now these monsters are simply afraid of you?"

As he spoke, he saw those guys with bared teeth all retreating. It seemed that there was no danger, but there was still something wrong.

Hanamibai looked around and then asked, "Hey, big villain, where's that crazy girl?"

"..."

Before Ning Xiusu could answer, he heard a cry of surprise.

"Wow!"

For no reason, Hua Jianbai was suddenly startled. He looked forward at the same time as Ning Xiusu, and saw countless red eyeballs lighting up in the darkness.

Several monsters fell to the ground. Perhaps because Pu Boyu was so smelly, the monsters were really disgusted and couldn't bring themselves to eat him, so they roared at him like crazy.

Pu Boyu suddenly yelled, knocking Ye Xiang to the ground, and ran into the stone cave next to him, shouting, "Auntie, run faster!"

Ning Xiusu took a look and realized that this was a monster's nest...

Fortunately, these monsters did not intend to attack the two of them. They just climbed up the cave on the mountain wall with a howl. In the dim light of the tinder, they looked like real spiders, which made people suffer from claustrophobia.

Hua Jianbai failed to hold Pu Boyu back this time, limping and struggling, and nearly stumbling again. Yet, in the stinking cave, he could smell the cold, desolate air of pine trees...

"Be careful."

Hearing Ning Xiusu's warning, he simply grabbed the other person's sleeve, feeling relieved. But these monsters seemed to have smelled something terrifying, shaking their heads vigorously and even sneezing.

"strange……"

Seeing this, Hua Jianbai sniffed the person next to him.

Ning Xiusu glanced sideways, "Guardian Hua, are you born in the year of the dog?"

"Who made you so weird? I'm just curious."

The cave was winding and narrow, but it was more spacious than the mine, at least there was no need to bend over. Pu Boyu ran for a long time and was exhausted.

"whee."

The childish girl suddenly laughed strangely and tilted her head.

"You guys are so slow. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Pu Boyu was running wildly in front. When he looked up, he saw a little girl wearing a red silk skirt with gold weaving. The runes on the hem of the skirt were glowing faintly.

He stopped immediately and couldn't help rubbing his eyes, thinking it was an illusion.

"Wow, why is there another weirdo? Who are you?"

Liu Liu ignored what he said and walked over and said, "You seem to have seen my sister too. Where is my sister?"

"elder sister?"

Pu Boyu was stunned for a moment, "What sister?"

He suddenly realized what was happening and pointed at Liu Liu and said, "Oh, you are the eldest lady's sister."

Liu Liu blinked her eyes, one purple and one white, in a bewitching manner. "Hehe, tell me where my sister is, or I'll let these monsters eat you!"

"How would I know..."

As he was speaking, a monster roared and screamed behind him. Pu Boyu was startled and cried for help: "Auntie, Auntie..."

Ning Xiusu heard the noise and seemed to be nearby. The two of them were startled and hurried around a cave to the source of the sound.

When Hua Jianbai limped over there, he looked up and saw Liuliu.

He couldn't help but frown: "Liuliu, are you making trouble again?"

Liu Liu pouted, her bright eyes looking aggrieved: "Little brother, you are mean to me again!"

Pu Boyu came over and asked, "Ah, Uncle Villain, do you know him?"

Ning Xiusu then told Pu Boyu everything that had just happened, and Pu Boyu was amazed.

He looked at Liuliu and began to analyze randomly: "So, you are the eldest lady's sister, so you are the mine owner's daughter..."

"no!!!"

Liuliu was angry and stomped her feet hard.

Hanamiba discovered something strange.

"Liuliu, why aren't you afraid of monsters?"

"Little brother, their time has come. It's so pitiful. There are so many of them here..."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth in surprise and pointed at Pu Boyu: "You are just like them. You have seen bearded men."

Ning Xiusu looked at Pu Boyu and asked doubtfully, "Have you met the mine owner?"

Pu Boyu hesitated for a while and didn't answer. Suddenly he shouted, "Auntie, look over there."

The three of them looked in the direction of his finger.

At this time, the cave gradually opened up, and light came in from the entrance, like golden beams, shining brightly.

“There is a way out!”

Hua Jianbai was overjoyed and didn't bother asking any questions. He just grabbed Ning Xiusu's hand and walked towards that place.

The three of them, one in front and one behind, all headed towards the light.

After a while, I stepped out of the cave and saw that I was at the bottom of the mine. There were countless crystal clear stalactites inlaid on the cave walls, which seemed to be not built by human hands, but the wonders of nature.

A magnificent building came into view, sunlight filtering through the cracks in the mountain wall. Its eaves and corners, and the resplendent golden glazed tiles, shone with a dazzling light, like a temple between heaven and earth.
