When I was a child, my teacher always said that when ants go up trees, dragonflies fly low, it will rain. It is also said that the poultry are restless, and the dog barks and the beast flees because of natural disasters.

Earth beasts are also animals and act according to their habits.

"Wherever the loquat appears, there are basically demons. This kind of earth beast likes places with plenty of aura, and places where demons exist are often quite aura, just like a lion always follows a hyena behind him. Let's look for it, and maybe we can find clues to the snake in the moon. ”

As he spoke, Wu took out a small wooden urn from his bag, and then loaded the fat worm into it. Putting on our clothes again, I and I began to search around.

The two men walked not far in the direction of the south, the terrain began to change, the trees around them began to decrease, and they walked along the mountain road for some distance, and saw in the distance that there was a large part of the woods that was treeless, and the ground was bare, and a faint dust was wafting up.

"Why don't there be trees in this place?"

I asked curiously.

"Yes, there are no trees, there are no weeds on the ground. I've never been here before, so I just wanted to take a look. ”

After Wu Yu finished speaking, he raised the demon hunting crossbow and shot an arrow in the middle of the bare ground, and when the tip of the arrow pierced into the dust, it collapsed downward, revealing a small gap.

"What's going on?"

I asked curiously.

"It's empty underneath, and it's covered with a thin clod of earth, so no grass grows, and it looks like we've found something. ”

He crept forward and tapped lightly along the edge of the clod with his hand, and the waterless clod fell like a biscuit, and the black gap blew out unpleasant dust.

"What's down there? It looks so deep. ”

I asked curiously. Lifting a stone and throwing it down, a few seconds later I heard an echo, and the depth was estimated to be about ten meters. I looked intently, and the breath in the cave below was indeed extraordinary, but there should be no demons, because the breath coming from me was not chaotic and not too violent.

"There's no demon down there, but there's definitely something extraordinary, let's go down and take a look. Hand me the rope you brought......"

I spoke.

But he didn't expect Wu Yu to take a few steps back, shook his head and said, "Since we have found something, we should report it to Brother Zhou, we can't go down by ourselves." ”

After a pause, I forgot that this guy in front of me was someone else's little brother, scratched my head and said, "Let's just go down to see the situation, or you go down, I'll watch from above." Besides, even if there is really a mid-moon snake entrenched below, we can't fight, we still need your brother Zhou to come out, don't we?"

Wu Yu didn't want to cause trouble, but he still threw the rope to me, held the demon hunting crossbow and said, "I'll help you control the wind above." ”

After saying that, I hit three iron nails on the ground at the edge of the cave, and I climbed along the rope into the cave. I slipped my feet down the wall a little bit, and when I looked down with a flashlight, I saw a part of the mural on the wall, very similar to the one we saw yesterday in the underground cave. Slide down about ten meters to the end, raised his head and shouted to Wu Yu above: "I'm down, let's see the situation inside." ”

Holding a flashlight in one hand, pulling out a Tushan knife with the other, he took a turn in the newly discovered cave and found nothing but the murals on the walls. Then I walked towards the central area of the cave, the flashlight kept shining on the ground, and when I approached the central area, a strange silver light suddenly lit up in the circle of the flashlight!

The silver glow looked like the skin of some kind of animal, but I didn't dare to look at it, and waited until I retreated to the wall and calmed down for a moment before I looked up. Nothing came after me, maybe just scared myself. After taking a few deep breaths, I walked forward again, approaching the central area, and this time the flashlight still shone on the silver light on the ground! The silver light really looked like a layer of skin, but it was not as big as I imagined, and after a closer look, I found that the layer of skin on the ground was only one or two meters long at most.

Snakes have the habit of molting, and the only thing I can think of about is the moon snake in this Taibai Mountain! But the moon snake should be huge, even if we see a phantom, but in guess the moon snake body should not be so small.

I unfolded the snakeskin, with a head and a tail, and there were no obvious breaks, and it was clear that this was not a part of the snakeskin. Could it be that there is more than one moon snake in this Taibai Mountain? Or am I mistaken, this is just the skin of a silver snake? I kept guessing in my heart, but I heard the shout of Wu Gu from above.

"Did you find anything down there?"

He shone a flashlight at me.

I hurriedly hid the snakeskin in my clothes, then looked up and shouted, "No fart, I'll come up right away." ”

When I got to the ground, I lied, "There's nothing down there, just some frescoes, the same ones we saw in the pagoda yesterday." ”

"Oh, then let's go back and inform Brother Zhou first. ”

Wu Yu didn't doubt me, this kid is sometimes very smart, but sometimes he is stupid.

The two of them returned to the village one after the other, never realizing that there were more than us in the cave. Ding Wu and the others all discovered caves in the mountains, and several common people and hunters also discovered caves. But there was nothing in these caves, it seemed that only the caves I found had snake skins in them.

"How can there be so many caves on Taibai Mountain? ”

Zhou Guobang muttered to himself suspiciously.

"The so-called three holes of the cunning rabbit, I think the snake in the moon is similar, I must know that so many of us came to catch it, and deliberately dug a lot of holes to facilitate the escape when the time comes!"

Ding Wu really can't talk but has a brain, and he yelled stupidly.

I listened to it and smiled coldly. Ding Wu saw it and shouted, "What are you laughing at!"

"I just think you're stupid, and you can't talk brains. ”

", tell me what I said wrong?"

Ding Wu shouted angrily.

"First of all, snakes digging holes are not digging everywhere, and secondly, the caves we found have clods of earth covered on them, and normal people have no problem walking on them. But we can't withstand the beating, and the power of our demon hunting crossbow is so strong that it can make a small hole everywhere, which shows that we don't want to be discovered. Snakes don't do that, only people do that. Moreover, there are obviously old murals in the cave, indicating that this is artificially excavated. Could it be that the snake dug a hole in the middle of the moon and drew on it in a leisurely way to pass the time?"

After I finished speaking, I shook my head, and the people next to me all secretly laughed after hearing this, and Ding Wu's face turned red and stared at me viciously.

"What's wrong? You glared at me when you talked about your sore spots?

I said dismissively.

"Don't make any noise, the situation in Taibai Mountain is more complicated now, and I need to find more information to verify. If you continue to search the mountains these days, you must have found something in these caves. The more clues you find, the better......"

It was getting dark outside, so I scratched my head and said, "I see that it's not early, so I'll go back first." ”

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

When I returned to Lao Fang's house, after the sky outside was completely dark, I sneaked out of the house, bypassed the villagers' sight from behind Lao Fang's house, and got into the mountains and forests.

This time I secretly went up the mountain with my own selfishness, in order to avoid everyone's attention, including Lingqian, to go to the pagoda to test whether the Qiankun box can really be put in, I have a warning, after the Qiankun box is put in, there will be unexpected discoveries.

Walking along the mountain road, when approaching the cave, it was obvious that the guards were insufficient, because now there are more and more caves found on Taibai Mountain, and this cave that has not been explored and found much is naturally abandoned.

Only one person slept against the trunk of a nearby tree, his eyes closed. I whispered over, tied the rope to the trunk of a tree next to the cave, and slid down the cave.

After the white snake stone spirit and the big black snake were lost in the cave, it was much cleaner, and after walking through the signboard of the fairy snake house, he went deep into the huge cave. The pagoda is still there, I looked back smartly, I didn't see anyone coming up, and then I walked into the pagoda, straight up to the third floor, the offering table has been removed, but the groove on the ground is still there. I took out the Qiankun box and was about to put it into the groove, but at this moment, there was a slight noise downstairs......"
