Chapter 250: Goodbye Mysterious Skeleton
It took a long time for Ling Zikai to come back to his senses, and he cautiously walked over to the vines that had collapsed under the mountain wall, and tried to pull one vine with his hand.
I only heard a "click", and the vine broke in response.
I saw that the vine I was holding on to my hand had shriveled up, and there was no juice flowing out of the fracture, as if it had been dead for a long time.
Ling Zikai was secretly surprised in his heart. According to common sense, even if this vine is cut by the roots, it will not lose its vitality immediately, how can it dry up like this?
Although his heart was full of puzzlement, Ling Zikai also knew that it was impossible for him to figure it out at all, so he didn't think about this problem anymore. Now that these vines are dead and the danger has been lifted, let's hurry up and enter the mysterious cave to have a look.
Although the entrance of the cave was more than ten meters above the ground, the vines that had collapsed at the foot of the mountain wall piled up like a small mountain, and the highest point was only two or three meters away from the entrance of the cave, and as long as you climbed the cliff of that distance, you could enter the cave.
Ling Zikai began to climb up the vines.
The vines were supple when they were alive, but now they are hard, and occasionally make a cracking sound when stepping on them. Fortunately, the vines were stacked on top of each other in an intricate manner, and they were completely able to withstand Ling Zikai's weight and not collapse.
After a while, they came to the bottom of the cave.
At this time, there is still a gap of more than one meter from the entrance of the cave, this distance is naturally difficult for Ling Zikai, his left hand grabbed a stone lump protruding from the mountain wall, luck ancestral energy, jumped up with the force, grabbed the edge of the cave with his right hand, and took advantage of the situation to climb up.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, I felt a cool breeze coming out of it, and I immediately felt extremely refreshed.
The probe looked into the cave, and saw that the cave was tilted down at an angle of more than 30 degrees, and it was possible to see the entrance of the cave more than 20 meters, and then it was dark and deep and could not see the scene clearly.
The cave was completely natural, with flat walls and moss. The thick mass at the bottom takes up almost a quarter of the cave. Ling Zikai used his machete to fiddle with the piles a few times.
Most of the accumulations were made up of debris and mud that had fallen and peeled off from the walls of the cave after a long period of weathering, mixed with some dust formed by the decay of dead branches and leaves, and some white bones.
I don't know how many years these bones have been left inside, they are very hard and have become fossils. The further you go inside, the more and more fossils appear, varying in shape and size.
Ling Zikai pondered that the formation of these bone fossils would take at least tens of thousands of years, and if archaeologists were to come to archaeological excavation, it might be a major discovery similar to the Zhoukoudian ape-man site in Beijing.
However, Ling Zikai is not an archaeologist, although he is a little curious about these fossils, he is not very interested, and the top priority is to quickly enter the stone hall in the cave to see the mysterious animal remains.
After walking more than ten meters, the light inside began to dim.
Ling Zikai took out a flashlight from his backpack.
When opened, the white electric light pierced through the darkness and into the depths, making the cave even more gloomy.
Perhaps because the entrance to the cave was sealed by the devil's vine, no creature had been able to enter the cave for thousands of years, so there was no trace of animal infestation inside.
Except for the sound of his own footsteps on the ground, he couldn't hear any other sound, and it seemed to be extremely dead.
If it weren't for the fact that Ling Zikai had already released his consciousness and explored the cave in front of him in advance, knowing that there was no danger, he would have been a little timid to enter alone like this.
After walking thirty or forty meters inside, I came to the wide cave. The elevation of the cave is much lower than that of the cave, so there is more accumulation inside, filling almost a quarter of the entire cave.
Ling Zikai used a flashlight to strafe the cave, and immediately found the stone platform that was more than two meters above the ground. I saw the white skeletons scattered on the countertop.
When Ling Zikai climbed onto the stone platform, he found that the stone platform was also buried by thick sediment. Only when all of this sludge is cleaned away will the intact bones of the mysterious creature be revealed.
Look at the stone platform is almost 200 square meters, the mud on it is hundreds of cubic meters, rely on your own hands to clean up, I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey.
The ultimate goal of coming in this time is to find something that can replenish the energy of the ancestral god, although I am very curious about this mysterious creature, but I don't have that energy.
Ling Zikai walked around the stone platform, and there was nothing new to discover.
After thinking about the last time, he not only devoured the remaining consciousness on the pair of antler-shaped bones of this creature, but also absorbed a large amount of vitality essence, so he held the idea that this mysterious creature had no other strange things left, and used his consciousness to search the wreckage carefully again.
Sadly, this time it wasn't so lucky.
After searching the wreckage for nearly ten minutes, Ling Zikai did not gain the slightest, so he had to regain consciousness with some frustration.
Then he did not linger on the stone platform and began to search for it throughout the cave.
After searching for a long time, I found nothing except for some other animal fossils.
The only discovery was that there was an opening in the eastern wall of the cave, which was covered by a large amount of sediment, revealing only a hole of less than 50 centimeters, presumably a passage to other places.
Ling Zikai used his consciousness to probe into the entrance of the cave, it was very deep, and the tunnel within more than ten meters of the cave was almost filled with sediment. Further in, those sediments begin to gradually decrease. The whole tunnel is about more than one meter wide and more than two meters high, and it is crooked and I don't know where it leads.
When the consciousness extended forward for about two or three kilometers, there was a faint sound of rushing water in front of me.
Could it be that there is an underground river in it?
Listening to the sound that came, it should be not far ahead.
After Ling Zikai hesitated for a moment, his consciousness continued to extend forward.
After about fifty or sixty meters of exploration, the tunnel finally came to an end, and an underground river appeared.
The hole in the underground river is only two meters square, and the current in the river is not very fast, but the water is fifty or sixty centimeters deep, and it meanders in the belly of the mountain. This kind of underground river is very common in the Khing'an Mountains, and there is nothing peculiar about it.
Ling Zikai felt a burst of disappointment in his heart, so he lost any interest and wanted to withdraw consciousness.
At that moment, there was a sudden surge on the surface of the river.
Then a few white shadows flickered under the water, and there was a splash.
I didn't expect there to be creatures in this underground river!
Ling Zikai felt a burst of curiosity in his heart, and used his consciousness to lock onto a creature underwater.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be an animal that resembled a salamander. It's just that unlike the salamanders I've seen before, the salamander in front of me is white, more than 20 centimeters long, with short limbs, a long tail, and a smooth body without scales.
As if feeling the consciousness of locking himself, the white salamander's slightly pink eyes suddenly widened, and he looked around vigilantly.
This can't be a species that has never been discovered by humans! If one is caught back, it will definitely surprise Lin Xing'an and them. It's a pity that I only see them with my consciousness now, and I can't really grasp them.
Just when Ling Zikai felt a little regretful, an unexpected thing happened.
