Yu'er didn't make them wait too long, only one day later, Xiao Zhao was kidnapped by two masked men in black in full view.

The guards in the dark followed immediately, and Zhuang Yi immediately went back to report the news.

In order to avoid losing track again, this time Xiaozhao wears a secret spice from the Western Regions called Lingdieyin. This spice has a special smell that cannot be distinguished by human noses, but ghost-faced butterflies come here in search of fragrance.

Xiaoruo knows the truth that all eggs should not be put in one basket, so she specially asked Xiaozhao to bring fluorescent powder.

If the kidnappers did not make Xiao Zhao lose consciousness, Xiao Zhao would sprinkle fluorescent powder along the way, and the fine powder that cannot be seen during the day can emit a green light in the night to guide the direction.

Xiao Zhao was kidnapped on his way from school, and it was still early in the morning, when Prince An and Xiao's family got the news, they immediately released the ghost-faced butterfly.

After lingering in place for a while, the two little lavender butterflies wobbled towards the south.

In order not to disturb others, only Xiao Ruo, Xiao Xun, Jiang Ping and Prince An were the only ones who followed the ghost face butterfly.

The ghost-faced butterfly went up and down, left and right, and its flying speed was only a little faster than ordinary people's walking speed. When a group of people chased the butterfly out of the city, the sky was already dark.

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the butterfly suddenly stopped moving and circled around a bush.

Xiaoxun poked open the bushes with his sword, and sure enough, he found a purse containing spices inside.

"It seems that they discovered Zhao Zhao's scent."

Picking up the purse, Xiaoxun scanned the surroundings, but found no other strange traces.

Jiang Ping walked up to him, took the purse and observed it carefully, and saw that a small area on the edge of the purse was slightly darker in color soaked by an unknown liquid, and there was a small hole in the middle, as if pierced by something.

Put it up to your nose and smell it, but you can't smell anything but spices.

"Axun, brother Jiang, did you find anything?"

There is no village at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, the surroundings are silent, and Xiaoruo's soft inquiries in the dark night seem to be magnified several times.

Xiaoxun and Jiang Ping returned to Xiaoruo, shook their heads and handed her the purse.

Xiaoruo, who was holding her purse, felt as if her heart was being scorched by flames. She really regretted why she agreed to let Xiaozhao take the risk. If something happened to Xiaozhao, how should she explain to Xiao's parents...

The strange touch of the purse in her hand suddenly gave her a flash of inspiration. The thumb and index finger that gripped the purse rubbed each other, and there was a slight sticky feeling from the fingertips...

Lifting up the purse and looking closely, the small hole that had been pierced had been shrunk under her kneading and tightening, only the disordered warp and weft of the satin surface showed that it had been penetrated by external force.

Sensing that Xiao Ruo's expression was wrong, Xiao Xun asked, "What's the matter, Ruo Ruo? Is there something wrong?"

Without taking care of answering Xiaoxun's question, Xiaoruo simply put the finger that had pinched the purse on the tip of her tongue and licked it.

Slight odor, somewhat like the smell of hard persimmons, it really is this!

Xiaoruo's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "The saponin tree! Quickly find out if there is a saponin tree nearby!"

He raised the purse and pointed to the dark mark, "This is caused by the sap of the saponin tree. This purse was stuck on the thorns of the saponin tree and was stained with the juice, so they must have passed a saponin tree. !"

Everyone dispersed immediately after hearing the words, looking for the saponin tree that Xiaoruo mentioned by the moonlight.

The saponin tree is tall and strong, and it is very eye-catching in the jungle of trees that have not sprouted new buds. It didn't take long for Jiang Ping to find a big saponin tree in the shade of the mountain that required several people to surround it.

"Here!" Calling everyone over, Jiang Ping pointed to a broken thorn at the waist and said, "Miss Ruo Ruo, look at this."

Bending down in front of Broken Thorn, Xiaoruo's nostrils were filled with the smell of fresh plant juice, "This is it! Please look around to see if there are any new clues."

Soon, more than ten meters away from the saponin tree, the faint fluorescent light attracted everyone's attention. It was the fluorescent powder that Xiao Ruo asked Xiao Zhao to wear before!
The place where the fluorescent powder was scattered was covered with a large piece of dry and scattered vines. The growth of normal vines is to wrap around parasitic trees and climb upwards, but this piece of vines is thick and abrupt, as if it is covering something.

With a wave of Prince An's hand, four flying fish guards flashed out from the darkness, and they tore apart all the vines neatly with their hands and feet, revealing a cave half the height of a person.

The deep and narrow hole is like the toothless mouth of an old monster, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

All the clues point to this cave, Xiaoruo has to go in even though she knows there are traps inside.

"My lord, I don't know what's going on inside, I'll go in first, you wait here for my signal."

After she finished speaking, she bent down and went into the hole. After two or three steps forward, she felt that there were two people coming in behind her.

The entrance of the cave is so narrow that only one person can walk forward with a bowed body, and it is impossible to turn around, but from the familiar sound of footsteps and breathing, she can tell that one of the people behind him is Xiaoxun.

"Axun, why did you come in? Didn't you tell you to wait outside?" She could only grope in the dark, and asked as she walked forward.

Sure enough, Xiaoxun's voice came from behind, "I'm not at ease, and with Brother Jiang and I here, even if there is danger, I have more strength to deal with it."

His voice sounded low in the cave, making Xiaoruo's tense heart inexplicably wrapped in a sense of security.

Jiang Ping's voice sounded from behind: "Miss Ruo Ruo, be careful where you step, the snakes, insects, rats and ants are all hibernating now, don't step on them and slip your feet."

Xiaoruo: ...

Rather than saying it was a cave, it was more like a tunnel. The three of them walked in the dark for about a quarter of an hour before they felt that the space around them had expanded, from bending over to walking upright gradually.

In the process of moving forward, Xiaoruo felt that there was a strand of cool wind brushing her cheeks in front of her, which meant that this tunnel was not a dead end, and this was the reason why she dared to keep going. As long as there is air circulation, there is no need to be afraid Risk of suffocation.

When the left and right hands could not touch the cave walls on both sides, Xiaoruo stopped and asked, "Do you have anything with lights?"

She came in in a hurry just now, and she was not sure about the oxygen content in the cave. She was afraid that the burning would speed up oxygen consumption, so she didn't bring any lighting tools such as torches or wind lamps.

Jiang Ping subconsciously nodded, and immediately realized that they couldn't see his movements, so he replied, "I'm in a rage."

As he spoke, he took out the portable Qidefeng that was folded into the size of a palm from his arms, and skillfully assembled it into a boxy portable windproof lamp in the dark. To that little bamboo tube.

Probably because I entered the cave in the dark just now, and kept bending over, the fire pocket fell off.

He tilted his head, estimated the approximate direction, and asked, "Is your fire book still there? Mine seems to have been lost..."

Before Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun could answer, a strange laugh came from the depths of the cave, "Giggle...what kind of firefly do you want, I'll order it for you..."
