When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Chapter 340: Intertwined Aerial Roots

After bending down and entering through the tree hole, you can walk upright.

Xiao Yihuo walked ahead without lighting a fire stick. However, with the help of the light coming through the gaps between the banyan tree's aerial roots, and his eyes having adapted to the darkness in advance, he was able to identify the route.

The aerial roots formed by the branches hanging down and taking root have contributed to the spectacular natural scene of a single banyan tree forming a forest.

The aerial roots were arranged in an orderly manner, some were wide and some were narrow. Xiao Yihuo walked in front and tried to choose gaps between the aerial roots that were wide enough for him to pass through without having to turn sideways.

just.

The two of them walked one after the other without talking, which always made Lin Lezhi feel a little embarrassed.

"I've been wanting to say this before. You're really observant of things. If it weren't for you, I might have overlooked many clues."

"I didn't see it, I heard it."

Hearing Xiao Yihuo's serious response, Lin Lezhi couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Yihuo is a cunning man like a fox, always harboring evil intentions, but sometimes he inexplicably appears to be very serious and methodical.

He answered truthfully.

Always felt.

These are not two styles that can be presented on him at the same time, and the contrast is extremely strong.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect that you have such a serious side."

In fact, Lin Lezhi wanted to say something dull, but in the end he said something more neutral, then smiled and said: "Anyway, thanks to you, thank you very much. This time too, thank you for coming in with me."

"..."

Xiao Yihuo fell silent after Lin Lezhi's words. At the same time, the smile on Lin Lezhi's face froze, his hands and feet paused, and his expression became a little flustered.

Fortunately, it was dark in the dark, and Xiao Yihuo was walking in front, so I couldn't see the expression on his face.

"that……"

"what you want to say?"

Xiao Yihuo's voice was slightly restrained and forbearing.

Although he couldn't see the expression on Lin Lezhi's face, Xiao Yihuo could feel that Lin Lezhi was not feeling well, so he asked.

Not sure if his feelings were exposed in front of Xiao Yihuo, Lin Lezhi's heart trembled when he was asked.

That's right.

He had said those prelude because he actually had something else to ask, and he wanted to ask it naturally and casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Yihuo to remain silent.

"...We've been here for quite some time. Do you feel any discomfort?"

When he asked this question, the two of them had just passed the last place where light from outside could penetrate. The whole space suddenly became darker, and Xiao Yihuo also stopped at this moment.

Fortunately, Lin Lezhi had been paying attention to Xiao Yihuo's actions, so he stopped in time and did not bump into Xiao Yihuo.

Suddenly, everything in front of them went dark and it was difficult to see. For a moment, they could only hear each other's faint, fluctuating breathing, and Xiao Yihuo's breathing was obviously a little rapid.

“肖煦！”

Lin Lezhi didn't shout very loudly, but it was loud enough for both of them to hear clearly, and there was urgency in his voice.

Lin Lezhi's eyes tightened, and he immediately realized something. He quickly took out a fire starter from his arms and blew it to his mouth.

The dim light from the tinder illuminated the road ahead. A few strands of red cloth were tied sporadically to the aerial roots of the banyan tree not far away.

However, at this moment, Lin Lezhi's eyes only saw Xiao Yihuo's figure. Xiao Yihuo clenched his fists tightly, his body was a little unstable, and he was obviously trying hard to hold on.

The moment the fire suddenly lit up, Xiao Yihuo subconsciously wanted to hide, but Lin Lezhi took the lead and grabbed Xiao Yihuo's hand, regardless of whether Xiao Yihuo was willing or not.

Under the light of the fire.

Winding, terrifying black lines suddenly appeared on the back of Xiao Yihuo's hand.
