Chapter 221: The Sinkhole
All the people of the three tribes stayed where they were, just staring at him as he headed north, and did not go after him.
When he arrived at no one's place, Wu Zhongyuan immediately cast the wind technique, moving to the northeast as fast as possible, the reason why he did not choose to follow Jiang Nan to the Niu Clan was that he was worried that he would bring disaster to the Niu Clan, he now not only poses a threat to Wu Xi, but also poses a serious threat to Li Tai, if the Niu Clan takes him in, in the eyes of Wu Xi and Li Tai, it is equivalent to raising a tiger, and it is very likely to join forces to attack the Niu Clan.
The reason why Li Tai and Wu Xi agreed to let him go alone was because after he lost the protection of the Niu clan, they could secretly look for the perpetrator.
And the reason why the Niu clan agreed to him to leave was also because he was a hot potato, and staying in the Niu clan was likely to bring disaster to the Niu clan.
He didn't have a set place to go, and the reason why he changed his route to the northeast was because the Qinglong Armor had disappeared into the northern sky not long ago, and if he also ran north, it would be easy to be found.
It didn't take long for Wu Zhongyuan to stop, he originally wanted to run far away, the farther he ran, the better, but after seeing the sinkhole where the miasma lingered, he temporarily changed his mind.
It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but in fact, many people misunderstand the meaning of this sentence, the so-called danger is not the place where the other party may find, but the place where the other party does not dare to set foot in, this sinkhole meets this condition, the miasma that lingers on the sinkhole is poisonous, and most people will shy away from it.
In addition, his identity has now been made public, everyone knows that he is in danger, and they all know that he knows that his situation is dangerous, according to common sense, he will definitely go far away, because the farther he goes, the less likely the enemy will find him, no one thought that he would be so bold to hide nearby, this can no longer be described as bold, it should be said that no one could have thought that he would stay near as if he were dead.
Thinking of this, I walked to the edge of the cliff to check the situation of the sinkhole, the sinkhole is an irregular circle, about 100 steps square, the sinkhole is not vertically downward, but slightly skewed, the west side of the sinkhole is concave, the east side is convex, but whether it is concave or convex, the amplitude is not large, there are cracks on the stone wall, and it can barely be climbed and moved downward.
After observing, he decided to stay here, in addition to the ones that he thought of before, there was another reason why he decided to stay here, he was too tired, people are not cars, even if there is always a spiritual energy replenishment, the body can't withstand a long overload of running.
Before climbing down, Wu Zhongyuan picked up a stone from a distance, which could not be picked up from a close distance, and it was easy to be found.
Even if you pick it up from a distance, you must bury the small pit left after taking the stone, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, no one knows how careful the opponent can be.
You must wipe off the soil attached to the stone, otherwise the soil will remain on the stone wall, and careful people may also expose their whereabouts.
It is unrealistic to pick up a round stone in a hurry, the stone he picked up is relatively regular in shape, and after sticking to the stone wall and letting go, the stone rolls down.
At first there was a relatively continuous crashing sound, and then the sound of the stones crashing against the stone wall became more and more rapid, but this did not mean that the further down the stone became, it was accelerated by gravity.
The frequency of the impact is getting faster and faster, and the sound of the impact is getting quieter and quieter, until finally the sound disappears completely.
According to the duration of the free fall, the relative height can be roughly judged, but there is no formula to apply to the irregular stone rolling attempt, only two points can be roughly determined, one is that this sinkhole is very deep, the depth is absolutely more than 100 meters, 100 meters is the height of more than 30 floors, which is a very amazing depth.
The second is that the shape of this sinkhole is very strange, it is oblique, and it has been obliquely going down at the same angle, which is different from all known sinkhole shapes.
Before going down, you have to determine a question, that is, whether you can come up after going down, according to the angle of inclination of the stone wall on the east side of the sinkhole, you can still climb up, ordinary people will definitely not succeed, but he will work lightly, and it is relatively calm to climb up.
There is a tree growing on the stone wall, located in the shroud of miasma, which was not very big when viewed from a distance, but this time it is a pine tree with the thickness of a bowl when viewed from a close distance.
Inevitably touched the pine needles, and when descending, he did not cling to the pine tree, but grabbed the gap in the stone wall and slowly descended.
The miasma is about two meters thick, some like a fog, but it is a little thicker than the fog, and through the miasma, the vision returns to normal.
Turn your head and look down, you can see that there are still many trees in the stone crevices below, most of them are distributed on the north and south sides of the stone wall, the thick ones are one hug thick, most of them are pine trees, and the plants have phototaxis, so these trees are growing upwards.
Descending more than ten zhang, Wu Zhongyuan found a natural cave, the cave is located in the area on the north side of the stone wall, not big, only four or five squares, the shape is irregular, there are still some dead and rotten roots on the four walls of the cave.
These intertwined roots indicate that there was a large tree growing outside the cave, and the wind and sun and the temperature difference caused small gaps in the stone wall, and the roots of the tree stretched along these gaps to the inside of the stone wall, and over time, the gaps in the stone wall became larger and larger, and the trees outside became heavier and heavier, and finally they were overwhelmed, dragging the huge stones wrapped in the roots and falling to the bottom of the pit.
This is a good place, not only can you stand upright from the inside, you can lie down calmly, and there are a few pine trees on it, so it is difficult for anyone to find this cave even if they go down to the miasma.
The cave was very clean, not even bird droppings, and the temperature in the sinkhole was higher than outside, but the ground was a little uneven, and there was nothing to pave for, but this was already very good, unloading the bow and arrows, leaning against the stone wall and sitting, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, it was almost dark, and it was very quiet in the sinkhole, although Wu Zhongyuan was tired, he did not feel sleepy, and he kept his eyes closed and recalled what happened not long ago.
What happened today not only has an impact on the three clans, but also has a great impact on himself, and before sorting out the details, we must first weigh the gains and losses.
Today's matter has the participation of four parties, the final result is a profit, a loss and two draws, the biggest profit is the Niu clan, Jiang Zheng's actions he owes the Niu clan a lot of favors, and the Niu clan itself has no loss.
The most unlucky is Li Tai, who not only lost the Qinglong Armor, but also made enemies with him.
The bear clan fought a draw in today's matter, found Wu Di, but let him go.
He also belongs to the draw, the so-called tie is a gain and loss, he got the green dragon armor, but exposed his identity, got the green dragon armor is a big gain, and exposing his identity is a big loss, and every moment in the future you need to beware of the bird clan and the bear clan looking for harm.
However, revealing his identity is also a matter of no choice, not that he did it intentionally, but that the development of things forced him to reveal his identity.
But there is one thing he has not been able to understand, that is, Jiang Zheng's attitude towards him, before Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Zheng always wanted to give him to the bear clan or the bird clan in exchange for the corresponding benefits, after Jiang Nan explained the relationship between the two to him, Jiang Zheng's attitude came to a 180-degree change, and began to protect him.
On the surface, Jiang Zheng is in love with his daughter, and he loves the house and Wu, plus he has obtained the Qinglong Armor, and Jiang Zheng wants to have a good relationship with him.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many strange things about this matter, and it is a very shameful thing to marry with a foreign family at this time, especially the royal family, if the nobles of the royal family marry a foreign man, the authority and honor of the royal family will be seriously damaged.
Jiang Zheng must really love Jiang Nan, and Jiang Zheng also vaguely guessed that Jiang Nan and him were not husband and wife, but in front of so many people, Jiang Zheng actually said what to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and call him a virtuous son-in-law, is this a bit too much?
What prompted Jiang Zheng to do this? Just thinking that he was a strange commodity seemed to be not very equal, the reason why Jiang Zheng did this must be mixed with some reason that he had never thought of.
If you want to find out the potential reason, you must first determine whether Jiang Zheng really wants Jiang Nan to marry him, this answer is yes, Jiang Zheng's previous words obviously want Jiang Nan to marry him, and calling him a virtuous son-in-law is also to determine the relationship between the two as soon as possible.
In this way, the question arises, why is Jiang Zheng in a hurry to determine this relationship?
After frowning for a long time, it finally dawned on him that Jiang Zheng thought more than Wu Xi and Li Tai, and had already guessed that he was the golden dragon descending, no! Not guessing, in fact, Jiang Zheng knew it the moment he reported his home, and the reason why he knew it was because he knew it twenty years ago.
The bird clan and the cow clan, who were hostile to each other back then, suddenly joined forces to attack the bear clan, and instead of fighting the walled city, they directly attacked the bear, and it was very likely that they were instructed by others, knowing that he was the golden dragon Linfan, lest he grow up and dominate the world, so they preemptively attacked and wanted to kill him.
This makes sense, before learning that he and Jiang Nan were friends, Jiang Zheng didn't have any kindness to him, Jiang Zheng knew very well that no matter if he went to the bird clan or the bear clan, it was a dead end, and Jiang just wanted to get benefits while borrowing a knife to kill people.
After Jiang Nan told Jiang Zheng about the relationship between the two, Jiang Zheng's mentality changed, since he was good friends with Jiang Nan, he was Jiang Zheng's son-in-law, no matter how powerful the son-in-law was in the future, it would be impossible to destroy the old man.
In addition, once he marries Jiang Nan, he will hinder Jiang Nan's face in the future and not seek revenge against Jiang Zheng, you must know that Jiang Zhengnian led his troops to attack Youxiong, and indirectly killed his father.
"This cunning old thing. Wu Zhongyuan muttered to himself.
After figuring out Jiang Zheng's mentality, he regretted a little that he didn't go to the Niu Clan, this old thing was good, and he didn't take any risks.
The doubts were gone, the sleepiness welled up, and he yawned, got up and walked to the cave to relieve his hands and pee.
Halfway through the pee, he glanced down.
It didn't matter if he glanced at him, he was almost half scared, but there were two big green eyes staring at him under the sinkhole......

Everyone, go to bed early, three is my limit.
