After finally waiting for Da He and the other horned gophers to more than double the hole's width, Ji Xiaoyan nodded with satisfaction, then pushed Luo Ye and said, "Luo Ye, please hold up the lamp and go ahead!"

"Lu Ye Fenfei glared at Ji Xiaoyan, but still followed Dahe obediently, lying on the ground, supporting the ground with one hand, holding an oil lamp with the other hand, and slowly crawled into the cave. Followed by

It was Ji Xiaoyan, then Brick, and finally the horned gophers that Dahe called.

Not long after climbing, Ji Xiaoyan heard Dahe's voice from ahead: "We're here, be careful when you come out!"

Afterwards, Ji Xiaoyan climbed out of the passage and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

This is where the horned gopher lives?

A huge cave space, with countless large and small stones and thick layers of soil dividing the entire space into several layers, just like a modern attic. There are many high and short protruding rocks on the cave wall next to it.

Xiaoyan guessed that those were the so-called stairs! There were large piles of stones on each floor. Ji Xiaoyan asked Dahe and found out that it was the home of each nest of horned gophers. There was a thin light on the top of the cave.

Spreading through the cracks in the rocks throughout the cave.

"You are all alone here... Oh, one rat alone in a nest?" Ji Xiaoyan asked doubtfully. There are too many piles of rocks here. It can be said to be densely packed.

"No, adult clan members must build a new nest to live together after finding a partner! Before finding a partner, they live with their parents!" Dahe explained to Ji Xiaoyan, while turning his head and motioning for them to follow him.

.

After passing through dozens of gopher nests, Ji Xiaoyan followed Dahe's steps and climbed up the rock on the cave wall, then jumped along the rock to another rock. He climbed like this for a while, and finally climbed

When we reached the top floor, I looked at the sky with fallen leaves flying. I stood to the side and looked down. It must be thirty or forty meters high! I couldn't see clearly at the bottom anymore, I could only see scattered glowing ones.

Ji Xiaoyan also curiously came over to take a look, then turned to ask Dahe: "Dahe, what are those glowing things down there?"

Dahe came over, took a look and said, "Those are luminous stones, which can emit a faint light in the dark!"

"Can you give me some later? I look pretty!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Dahe expectantly.

Dahe nodded. His clan didn't like that kind of stone very much, so it would be okay to give it to this human being. "Let's go to the clan leader first!"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded, beckoned Lu Yefenfei to follow, then turned around and followed Da He towards a large pile of rocks in front of him.

The horned gopher's patriarch's den is several times larger than an ordinary gopher's nest in terms of appearance. A small hole is opened on one side of the stone pile. At the entrance, there are two horned gophers lying on their stomachs, one on the left and the other on the right.

Xiaoyan estimated that this had the same effect as the human guard. Dahe motioned to Ji Xiaoyan and the others to wait a moment, then he got into the pile of rocks. After a while, he came out and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Come in with me!"

Fallen Leaf Fenfei tugged at Ji Xiaoyan's clothes. Ji Xiaoyan turned around and raised his eyebrows, asking him what was going on?

"Well, Xiaoyan, isn't this cave a bit small?"

Ji Xiaoyan looked back and forth, and it seemed that it was a bit small. "Dahe, isn't this hole a bit small? Look, he probably can't get in!"

This time, Dahe didn't even look at the falling leaves, and said directly: "It's not small, he can go in. Let's go!" After saying that, he went in again, completely ignoring the falling leaves.

His face was hesitant to speak and depressed.

After Ji Xiaoyan stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder to express comfort, he called for Brick to follow him and got into the pile of rocks. After the fallen leaves stayed in place for a while, he took a deep breath and glanced at the comparison man.

He reluctantly pushed his body into the small hole in the pile of rocks. He originally thought it would be very crowded, or that it would be blocked directly there. As a result, he easily got in, and did not feel the stones or his body at all.

Physical contact! It’s amazing!

After climbing a few steps, the fallen leaves were falling and I saw a bright light in front of me. After I got out, I discovered that there was also a cave under the pile of rocks. It was a space of at least fifty square meters, with people standing here and there.

There are piles of horned gophers. Directly in front of them is a larger horned gopher, sitting in the middle of a pile of stones. Several bright luminous stones are placed around the corners of the space.

Ji Xiaoyan and Brick were standing not far in front, packing up oil lamps and preparing to put them into packages for later use.

When Fallen Leaf Fenfei saw a group of gophers, they all turned their attention to him. He quickly patted the dust off his body and stood next to Ji Xiaoyan.

"Dear adventurer, are all your companions here?" The big gopher sitting in the pile of rocks directly in front spoke.

"Well, yes! Mr. Patriarch, my name is Ji Xiaoyan, you can just call me Xiaoyan." Ji Xiaoyan nodded quickly and said in a flattering manner.

The big gopher smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay!"

"Master Patriarch, Xiaoyan has agreed to help us deal with those hateful centipedes!" Dahe happily reported to the Gopher Chief!

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Then I have to leave this matter to all the adventurers." The leader of the rat tribe half straightened up and stroked his beard. It seems that all these gophers like to stroke their beards?

"No problem! Patriarch!" Ji Xiaoyan replied cheerfully. Hearing this, the fallen leaves were flying beside him, and he quickly prepared to catch her. Just kidding, in the beginning, it was because he asked the girl to speak, but in the end, this task became a failure.

It’s about Dingding. Now I want to boast about Haikou. If this big rat adds some kind of time limit, requirements, etc. to the task, it will be a big loss!

Luo Ye Fanfei was reaching out to Ji Xiaoyan, about to tell her to shut up, when she heard her continue: "But, Mr. Patriarch, there is something I still want to tell you!" Luo Ye Fanfei's hand stayed in the air for a moment.

, and then took it back. Let’s listen to what this girl is going to say first!

"Say it!" The gopher clan leader nodded.

"This is what happened! My companions and I were originally planning to come here to mine. As you know, there are many humans here to mine!" Ji Xiaoyan said, looking at the leader of the Gopher Clan and seeing it

He nodded, and then continued: "So, when we came here, we thought there was no danger here. We didn't bring any clothes or weapons for self-defense! Later, we heard Dahe say that there was a group of hateful centipedes here. We

We are also very happy to help you solve this problem! However, our current armed capabilities are indeed not very good, and I heard from Dahe that those centipedes are poisonous. This..." Ji Xiaoyan paused and looked embarrassed.

.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the gopher clan rolled his eyes a few times, then squeaked at the other mice in the hole for a while, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Adventurers, we have discussed this matter and can provide you with something.

You guys, I hope you can get rid of those hateful centipedes!" After saying that, he squeaked twice at Dahe. Then Ji Xiaoyan saw Dahe turn around, run to her feet, and straighten up.

Say to her: "Follow me!"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded, said goodbye politely to the leader of the mouse clan, and then followed Dahe out of the hole from where he came. And Fallen Leaves Fenfei followed him very quickly. Just kidding, get the equipment for free, speed.

What if we don’t hurry up?

After coming out of the patriarch's rat nest, Dahe took Ji Xiaoyan and the others from the top to the bottom floor, then walked to the innermost corner and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "The patriarch said, every time you

People can choose five types of clothing and one weapon! If you successfully drive away or kill the centipedes, you can choose one of these items as a reward!"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded calmly. She had never expected that these monsters and NPCs would be so generous and would give her a bunch of things casually. But Luo Yefenfei was so happy! This was the first time he encountered such a thing.

What a good thing! You can choose a piece of equipment to use during the mission. If you complete the mission later, you can also choose one as a reward. That means that if you complete the mission, in addition to those in the mission reward, you can also get one more.

piece of equipment! Falling Leaves Fei Fei has completely ignored the difficulty of this task and just studied what to choose for a while.

Dahe squeaked a few times, and a few gophers popped out from somewhere nearby. After digging around in the corner a few times, a large hole was revealed. Dahe signaled to Ji Xiaoyan and then got in.

Go in. Falling Leaves was not pretentious this time, and he followed Ji Xiaoyan directly in. Then he saw another space that was larger than the Gopher Clan leader's lair, filled with piles of equipment and weapons.

"You can choose whatever you want here, but the time can't be too long!" Dahe lay at the entrance of the cave and said lazily to Ji Xiaoyan.

"Wow, Dahe, you guys got so much equipment there!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed, there must be at least hundreds of pieces!

"Collected from humans who were killed by centipedes in the past!"

"Wise!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and took Brick to look for equipment. Luoye Fanfei also happily devoted himself to the matter of selecting equipment.

As a result, Dahe felt that they were chattering about which one was good and which one was bad, and they couldn't choose it for a long time, so he just told them to give them a few minutes at the end. If they didn't choose, they wouldn't be allowed to choose.

Ji Xiaoyan and the others quickly grabbed a few things they were satisfied with.

After getting out of the equipment warehouse, Dahe briefly told Ji Xiaoyan that centipedes usually live in the mines in the south. When attacking, they like to stand up and spit out poisonous saliva, or rush up to bite them. Then he introduced them by the way.

After a while, the centipede’s weak points were the pair of tentacles and a small area on its abdomen. After saying that, he pointed the direction to Ji Xiaoyan and the others and let them go by themselves.

So, Fallen Leaf Fanfei was a little dumbfounded: "Why don't you take us there? There are so many passages in the mine, what if we get lost?"

Dahe glanced at him and said: "As long as you are walking in the right direction, those centipedes also like to wander around. Maybe you will encounter a few of them if you get lost!"
