When Gao Ge opens his eyes, he sees stars all over the sky through the mouth of the cave.
He gets up slowly and stares at the hole above his head, which is about three or four meters wide. Honestly, for a moment he is speechless.
He is quite puzzled, wondering what made this horse so horribly scared that it even fell into such a wide cave. Besides, there are no other corpses around, perhaps not all beasts are so stupid.
However, sitting on the ground and thinking about what has happened, Gao Ge realizes how lucky he is.
After all, the position he sat before is right under the hole, so if other beasts fall in, most of them would just fall on his head. With such a short distance between, he could be totally dead.
With this in mind, Gao Ge cannot help sweating in fear and realizes that he has just survived.
After a long time, he slowly stands up, rubs his sore back, then looks around, wondering where he should go.
Unfortunately, He couldn't see anything after looking around. It's dark already. Gao Ge could still watch the sky and recognize different stars while sitting outside. Yet he cannot see anything inside this dark cave. The only light that can be seen is the starlight that falls through the hole. Thankfully with this light, he can see his own fingers clearly.
Hiding under this hole, all he can hear is the cries of some insects and frogs around. Actually at this moment, he is very calm and sits cross-legged on the ground, and having a sense of isolation. He always feels that the sounds made by birds and insects are the most beautiful music in the world. Anyway, it is better than staying at home while listening to the roar of cars outside. Unfortunately, even in some rural areas, it is difficult to hear these most primitive sounds from nature.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of sentimental person. And he understands that not being able to hear such a sound is not necessarily a bad thing. From an objective point of view, it also means that the living standards of Huaxia people are gradually improving, so it is OK to feel something once in a while. If someone takes this kind of thing out there and exaggerates it, Gao Ge doesn't know how many people will gossip like a couple of fishwives.
Then he begins to think how he can flee from here.
After his narrow escape, now he needs to find the way out of this inferno.
Suddenly he remembers a joke he read before.
"If you were in a hole without rope or ladder, how would you escape?"
"I'll put a hole in my brain with a needle and float myself up with the water in my head."
"Are you joking? How can there be so much water in one's head?"
"Then why am I into that hole?"
This was merely a joke before.
But now, Gao Ge scratches his ear.
Wondering how he can get some water from his head.
Here's still a dead horse, so if he could not escape, he can eat raw meat and drink blood for a while.
On the other hand, if he really can't escape this hole, he will also leave after the end of the secret realm of Mount Duanlong. And the hole should disappear with this realm. The scariest thing is that he himself might disappear with it, this possibility does exist.
It's horrible to think about.
Gao Ge thinks to himself, "Seriously? Die again before making a career? Am I a system failure that may be fixed anytime?"
While thinking about this, Gao Ge suddenly sees a faint blue light, about the size of a glass ball he had when he was a child, moving slowly towards him, and that light is taking an S route.
He jumps up and pats the dust on his bottom quickly.
The dark blue light, which is as evil as a ghost, seems to have realized that its plan for a sneak attack has been seen through, so it immediately accelerates and soars into the air, like an arrow shooting at Gao Ge.
Gao Ge's body flanks quickly, and as the light spot skims in front of him, he finally sees what it is.
A damn snake!
That is a one-meter-long snake, and the dark blue light spot is its head!
"Ghost Light Snake?" Gao Ge is surprised. He didn't expect to encounter this kind of low monster here. This snake is about the same strength as the ordinary fire wolf, and is not so difficult to deal with. Its attacking speed is extremely fast, and it can jump quite high. Yet, it may not be regarded as a flying ability but a jumping ability. As for flying snakes, Gao Ge has seen some before, and their way of attacking is stranger.
Interestingly, according to some limited ancient books, the Ghost Light Snake is not the product of the recovery of spiritual aura. Actually, it first appeared in the Tang period of Shang Dynasty. Besides, some people believe this kind of snake is a ghost messenger and the ghost light on its head is the street light that drags the dead to hell.
Gao Ge does not believe in gods. He killed ghost Light Snakes in his previous life. And facts have proved that he has not been damned and even had the opportunity to come back.
Gao Ge's dagger was already in his hand when it starts to attack. His eyes are fixed on the blue light, which is still moving slowly.
The reason why he stares at it carefully is that he didn't watch its appearance clearly before.
Thinking of this, Gao Ge suddenly admires himself.
For being able to think about these messy things now...
Suddenly the blue light moves.
Shooting at him in a smothering gesture.
Gao Ge roars, and whether his roar helps or not isn't within his consideration, that is merely a subconscious reaction.
The knife in his hand reflects a starlight silver awn, which seems to echo the faint blue light of the ghost Light Snake.
A gust of wind passes by.
Gao Ge's wrist flips very fast, and with his keen instinct, the knife splits the body of the ghost snake directly.
For a moment he could still hear the knife splitting into its flesh, and he even wonders whether he is just hearing things or not.
The moment he succeeds, the body of the snake instantly forms a strange shape. The sly snake tries to bite him in order to take revenge. Fortunately, Gao Ge is well prepared, and quickly retreats to the left. It's very thrilling to see the head of the snake only three or four centimeters away from the shoulder of Gao Ge. However, in this case, Gao Ge can only fight against it, since keep retreating will only make him fall into the abyss of hell.
The poor snake, which was injured by Gao Ge, falls heavily on the ground. This sane low-level monster does not choose to fight again. It probably just realized that this time it had picked the wrong opponent, so it stares at the conspicuous light in the dark with its wound bleeding stinky blood, and then moves its distorted body trying to escape.
Gao Ge catches up with a digger in his hand without hesitation.
It suddenly shows up and now tries to flee.
What does it mean?
There's another way out!
