Chapter 181 Fall
My neck was grabbed for no apparent reason, and I couldn't breathe.
The stone demon bird was so anxious that it screamed, its eyes bulging outwards.
Xia Ling noticed something was wrong and quickly let go of her hand, pulling off a few bird feathers.
As soon as his hand was released, the stone demon bird took a big breath.
Xia Ling looked at the little fat bird with a little bald neck with an apologetic expression, and secretly hid the hair.
The stone demon bird glared at her: "Quack..." He realized that his voice had become so ugly, and he became even more angry.
Xia Ling rubbed her hands together nonchalantly: "Accidentally, accidentally..." It was all because she was too excited, and her hands were too strong.
Just in case, the stone demon bird flew far away from her, lest the guy accidentally break his bird's neck.
Xia Ling asked: "Little fat bird, are you sure you saw the flying honey flower?"
Stone Demon Bird: "Quack..."
Xia Ling tried to ignore its strange bird sounds.
"You mean you saw some yellow flowers flying?"
"Where did you see it?"
"Quack..."
"Quick, take me there."
"Quack..."
The stone demon bird remained motionless in the air, staring at her, clearly implying that it would not be allowed to lead the way without some compensation.
Xia Ling rolled her eyes and took out some flint grass soaked in spiritual spring water from the ring space and handed it to it.
The Stone Demon Bird motioned for her to hang the grass around her neck.
Xia Ling: "..."
The little fat bird held the flint grass around its neck and took Xia Ling to a place in the honey scented forest.
Xia Ling looked around and found no trace of the Honey Butterfly.
She also knew that these honey-scented butterflies would not stay in one place. Since they have appeared before, maybe we can find some clues.
"Little fat bird, did you see the yellow flowers flying here?"
"Quack..."
"Were they in the trees originally?"
"Quack..."
Xia Ling looked carefully at the honey flowers on the trees around her to make sure they were flowers or not butterflies.
"Then where did they fly to?"
The stone demon bird flapped its wings and pointed to the north.
Xia Ling glanced to the north for a few times, then looked at the ground covered with honey-scented petals, and fell into deep thought.
She simply lay down on the ground and listened carefully to the movement underground. Suddenly she frowned slightly and quickly moved around a few times.
Then she chose a place to push aside the fallen flowers. She pressed her eyes close to the ground and concentrated, feeling the movement underground.
She heard the sound underground again. It was very loud, and it should have been made nearby.
Xia Ling guessed that there was also a wine cellar nearby. She carefully observed the location here and found that it was not close to Shi Jing's house or the tunnel exit from the Demonic Beast Forest.
She continued to tap her feet on the ground, feeling the sounds underground, and decided to find the entrance to the wine cellar.
The ground was hard, and it didn't look like there was an opening at all.
Instead of finding an entrance, she might as well dig a hole herself. It's a pity that she is no longer in the body of a rabbit and has lost the ability to dig holes.
Alas...
Xia Ling sighed, wishing that the dung beetle was here.
I don’t know where this guy went?
I glanced at the little fat bird that had been chewing on the flint grass on its neck.
"Little fat bird, it would be great if you could dig a hole."
The stone demon bird rolled its eyes at her: "Let it fly in the sky to dig a hole. What are you thinking about?"
Xia Ling sighed again. It seemed that she could only find the tunnel entrance honestly.
She broke off a thick branch and knocked it hard on the ground, feeling the different echoes.
But she did hear the authentic direction.
And this tunnel does indeed extend to the north, which is the direction that the honey-scented butterfly pointed to by the Stone Demon Bird flies. She suddenly became energetic and kept walking in that direction and knocking.
As I walked, I saw two slightly different honey-scented trees here. The flowers of these two honey-scented trees are particularly bright and yellow.
The ring flashed: [Little Master, these two should be tree kings. 】
Xia Ling was a little surprised: "Tree King?"
Ring: [Still a male and female tree. 】
Taking a closer look, the two trees are indeed different. They look more lush but also have many branches. Especially the roots of the trees close to the ground are very thick and the trees are older. At least they were the two oldest honey-scented trees she had seen so far.
Judging from the thickness of their branches and the denseness of their leaves, they are indeed worthy of the title of King of Trees. This one is female and the other male.
The crowns and roots of the two trees are intertwined, and you can see their loving appearance. It is no wonder that they can breed such a large honey-scented forest.
Throughout the forest, densely packed honey-scented trees were obviously spreading in all directions along the tree king.
This should be the center of the Honey Forest.
"Little fat bird, help me fly up and have a look."
Xia Ling let the stone demon bird fly into the air to see how big the forest was.
The stone demon bird flew around quickly and then flew back.
"Quack..."
The little fat bird said it couldn't even see the edge.
Is it that big? Xia Ling was a little skeptical.
She walked around the tree a few times, and it was obvious that the sounds underground here were different.
But she never found out that there was an exit here.
"Quack..."
Suddenly, the stone demon bird that was eating flint grass in the tree screamed, and its wings kept flapping in the middle of the tree.
Xia Ling's eyebrows moved and she climbed up.
There is an icy air seeping out of the dense branches and trunks wrapped with honey-scented butterflies.
Xia Ling pushed aside the honey-scented butterfly flowers and saw that the trunk was hollow, and there should be a hole underneath.
Is it the entrance?
Xia Ling lay on the branch and looked down. Suddenly the branch loosened and her body fell straight down.
She hit the bottom hard.
It was pitch black down below.
Judging from the speed and distance of her fall, this place is probably already very deep from the ground.
Looking up, I don't know if the hole that fell down is closed or something, and no light can penetrate it.
This feeling is really permeating.
Xia Ling shouted twice: "Little fat bird..."
All that was heard was her echo.
"Huanhuan, is there any way we can get up there?"
Ring: [Little Master, let the stone demon bird hang down a rope and pull you up or climb up. 】
Xia Ling: "..."
Now it's better, there's no way to go up even if you want to.
These tunnels should be connected to other tunnels. If you can't go up here, there may be other places to get out.
We can only go inside along this side and find a way out.
This place looked like a dead hole with no exit, but Xia Ling knew it was definitely not that simple.
She had a lot of strength and pushed hard in every direction.
Sure enough, she finally pushed a stone wall, and there was really a tunnel behind it.
Xia Ling walked inside, and the further inside, the colder and colder it became.
Based on her experience, this tunnel should lead to a wine cellar. As I walked, I actually smelled the smell of mead.
Suddenly, a huge whirring sound sounded, and the sound echoed harshly in the tunnel.
