Chapter 1957: Digging
In fact, Cenarion did not believe that there were people in the heart of such a mountain. It even thought it was just a hallucination.
But after hearing a few more vague sounds, Cenarion didn't think so.
It even wondered if there might be something wrong with the direction of the cave it originally selected when digging, and it collided with some other caves dug by aborigines hiding in this mountain peak. Together.
"Tell me, is it possible that if we dig deeper inside, we will dig out another cave?" Cenarion's eyes widened and he asked Ji Xiaoyan seriously. After saying a few words, there was a look of extreme interest in his eyes.
Ji Xiaoyan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but imagine the scene Cenarion said in his head, and then asked it in a low voice: "You mean, our cave is about to be connected to other caves. That's why I heard someone's voice appear? ?”
Cenario nodded without hesitation, but licked the corner of his mouth and said with some expectation: “Tell me, where can those aborigines have food?”
< br>Ji Xiaoyan was stunned when he heard this and looked at him dumbly. He looked at Cenarion several times and asked somewhat speechlessly: "You are looking forward to someone over there, just wondering if you can get some food from them?"
Cenario did not hesitate. Nodding, he said to Ji Xiaoyan in a strange and heartbreaking way: "I told you that I haven't eaten much since I've been hiding here for so many days. Don't you think I've lost a lot of weight?"
Ji Xiaoyan immediately shook his head: "For us, you are still So tall and mighty! ”
Cenarion blinked and suddenly laughed. It knew for the first time that this girl Ji Xiaoyan also knew how to make jokes and say nice things!
But it really likes this.
"It's just, Cenarion! Look at how many of those little things you caught for the guards are piled up? That little thing is enough for you to eat, why don't you eat it? ?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Cenarion and seemed to be in a much better mood. He couldn't help but asked it: "And I see that these are all stone walls. Where did you catch those little things?"
"I am a noble dragon, where can I eat those little things?" A small thing dug out of the soil? That's a very shameful thing. !" Upon hearing Ji Xiaoyan's words, Cenarion immediately explained to her, "As long as I am hungry, I will not eat them. It is very suitable for you to eat them! As for where you caught them, Xiaoyan! Are you sure you want to know?”
Ji Xiaoyan He hesitated slightly, feeling that the tone of Cenarion's question was not quite right, so he glanced at the guards not far behind him, thought about it and then asked Cenarion: "The guards all know that you are here. Where did you catch those things? ”
"I don't know!" Cenarion shook his head and said with certainty: "I always asked them to wait over there, and I caught the ones I threw to them."
Ji Xiaoyan nodded, He asked hesitantly: "What's wrong with those things?"< br>
"No matter what the problem, it's all edible, don't worry about that!" Cenarion said to Ji Xiaoyan with an indifferent expression, and slowly moved one paw towards the stone wall in front of him. I grabbed it and felt the urge to keep digging.
"Then what did you mean when you asked that question? It sounds to me like there is something wrong with the origin of those little things." Ji Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, with a helpless smile on his lips. Come, just as she was about to let Cenarion take her to see how those little things were caught, she heard Cenarion speak.
“I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong, I just know that it’s edible. However, if you want to catch them, or attract them, you still need some special methods. Let me ask you what you want I don’t want to go and see it, but this is what I’m asking about. Do you want to go and see it?” Cenarion looked at Ji Xiaoyan seriously and said with a hint of teasing, expecting Ji Xiaoyan to nod.
"I think you have some evil intentions!" Ji Xiaoyan said bluntly.
“You don’t know how to eat those little things anyway, do you want to go and take a look?” Cenarion smiled mischievously at Ji Xiaoyan, full of expectation: “After taking a look, , let’s come back and study the issue of whether to continue digging?”
“Aren’t you very interested in those sounds?” Ji Xiaoyan asked a little strangely.
“Aren’t we going to take you to see how those little things were caught?” Cenarion said to Ji Xiaoyan without hesitation. It seemed that for it now, it was important to take Ji Xiaoyan Go see the little things that matter.
But Ji Xiaoyan was not willing to be fooled at all. He rolled his eyes directly at Cenarion, and then said: "Forget it, I don't have such curiosity now. I'm still here to watch you. Keep digging.”
"You really don't want to go take a look?" Cenarion was obviously disappointed.
“No!” Ji Xiaoyan said with an affirmative look on his face, “dig it, I’ll watch from here.”
Cenario sighed in disappointment , glanced towards the darkness in the other direction, then nodded and said: "Okay. If you don't want to, forget it!"
It thought it could lead. Lure Ji Xiaoyan to go over there and take a look. While making her feel sick to make herself feel better, she also showed her how capable she was and could make countless amounts of food by relying on those dragon dung.
Cenario glanced at Ji Xiaoyan secretly, and when he realized that she did not see his gaze, he sighed inwardly.
It almost starved to death, but it didn't expect to find some sneaky traces near the dragon dung it pulled in the cave. Cenarion discovered those little things without spending almost any effort. They looked at them carefully and greedily surrounding their dragon dung. Not knowing what they wanted to find, it immediately grabbed a few small things to fill its stomach.
It didn’t pay much attention at that time, so it ate a lot of those little things in one go! But later, when his stomach was full, and he looked at the densely packed little things lining up around his dragon dung, Cenarion no longer had any desire to eat those little things!
He waved his claws and clawed at the mountain wall with a sigh and resentment, but Cenarion's thoughts were far away.
“Do you want me to find some guards to help you dig?” Ji Xiaoyan blinked, watching Cenarion’s claws leaving sparks on the stone wall again and again, and endured I kept asking it: "They have some tools on them that can help you."
"No, just stay here and talk with me." Cenarion rejected Ji Xiaoyan's proposal and said directly to her: "When I came here, this cave was not like this. It’s big. Most of the space I have now is dug out when I’m bored.”
Ji Xiaoyan nodded with some surprise and looked at Cenarion with admiration in his eyes: "You have really worked hard these days." No one is talking," Cenarion said dissatisfiedly to Ji Xiaoyan, but the movements of his paws did not stop at all. "Didn't you live in the forest by yourself when you came to Qingcheng? Now, don't you stay on the tower by yourself every day? Then it wouldn't be boring?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at it strangely Cenarion asked, finding a safe-looking spot to sit nearby.
"That's different! When I was in Qingcheng or the Wugu Forest, although I lived in a cave by myself, I felt free to go out and walk around if I wanted to. Oh! It's like now, I can only be trapped in this cave. If I hadn't found those little things and been attracted, maybe what you see now is a hungry skinny dragon. " Cenarion sighed, his eyes full of regret!
If it had not followed that fox clan saint so far, or if it had left her without hesitation and gone back to Qingcheng, it may not have been able to live as leisurely and comfortably as before. How could the days like this be like now, trapped in the same cave, waiting every day for the black rain to stop and for it to regain its freedom!
Ji Xiaoyan looked at Cenarion with some remorse, not daring to say a word.
She could tell that Cenarion's resentment was actually very serious. Anyone who was locked up in such a dark place for so long would be angry. She didn't bring someone to find it immediately. That was her fault as the owner!
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but sigh again.
A few vague buzzing sounds suddenly sounded.
Cenario stiffened, looking at Ji Xiaoyan with surprise in his eyes, and asked her in a low voice: "How was it? Did you hear the sound this time?"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded, listened for a while, and then said firmly to Cenarion: "But there are voices. There should be another cave over there, but I don't know what is hidden there. People!"
"It's okay if it's a person!" Cenarion smiled without caring at all, and moved a little faster, with no intention of hiding it. .
As Cenarion dug faster, the humming voices became clearer.
Ji Xiaoyan gestured to the guards in the distance, asking them to turn around and bring the other guards over to be on guard. Then he asked Cenarion again: "Cenario , you dug out such a large area in this cave, where did the soil and stones go? ?”
“Have they all been moved out of the cave? Otherwise, where would there be room to put those things?” Cenarion said directly to Ji Xiaoyan, “Didn’t you notice that the platform outside the cave is very flat? It was all piled up with stones and soil that I put inside!”
Ji Xiaoyan was a little surprised: "You braved the black rain to pile up?"
"That's natural!" Cenarion nodded and said to Ji Xiaoyan with a proud look on his face: "If you hadn't carried a lot After being corroded by the black rain, do you think you were still so lightly injured when I ran out of the cave to save you? But I didn’t know that the first time I was hit by the black rain, I was scarred! The black rain was like a knife, stabbing directly into my body. The feeling was super uncomfortable.”
Ji Xiaoyan could imagine such a scene and looked at Cenarion with admiration.
A "crack" sound suddenly sounded in the cave at this moment.
The movement of Cenarion's hand paused for a moment, and then he immediately started digging at the stone wall with some madness.
Ji Xiaoyan also raised the torch nervously, carefully retreated behind Cenarion, and stared closely in the direction of the stone wall.
Soon, a piece of gravel on the stone wall cracked instantly under Cenarion's strong force, and then a large hole collapsed directly.
Ji Xiaoyan quickly stood up on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the big hole. What he could see was still pitch black, and there was no sound of people at all.
“Let your guards come and take a look.” Cenarion quickly said to Ji Xiaoyan, and then continued digging: “This is indeed a cave, but there is no one here at the moment. !”
Ji Xiaoyan waved to the guards behind him, watched them coming towards the big hole with torches, and couldn’t help but follow them.
Before he could clearly see the scene in the big hole, Ji Xiaoyan felt himself being lifted aside by Cenarion.
"I don't know what's going on over there. Why are you, a city lord, going over there to see what you are doing? What if there is any danger?" Cenarion glared at Ji Xiaoyan and said, "Let the guards go there. Just take a look, wait until I dig the hole bigger and then go over and take a look."
Ji Xiaoyan smiled dumbly and nodded, watching Cenarion keep digging at the stone. All the big holes have been dug.
"Lord City Lord, there is indeed a cave over there. Lord Cenarion dug it through. Do we want to go deeper and have a look?" A Qingcheng guard crossed the cave to check briefly. He asked Ji Xiaoyan loudly.
"Is there any trace of someone hiding over there?" Ji Xiaoyan blinked, looked at the black area over there inquiringly, and asked the guards.
The guards shook their heads, frowned and said: "It seems that no one appears in this cave and we haven't gone too far. Maybe we haven't observed clearly enough!"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded and thought for a while. Then he looked at Cenarion: "You said there is no one over there? Are you sure? "
"It just feels like there is no one nearby!" Cenarion thought for a while and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "But we just heard people appearing, so there should be someone here!"
