Chapter 12: Finally Found
A few crisp ringtones woke up Ji Kai, where did the ringtones come from, they were noisy!
Suddenly, Ji Kai remembered something, quickly turned out his sleeping bag, carefully unzipped the tent, revealing only a small space, and looked out nervously.
I didn't see any movement or anything unusual, after getting dressed, Ji Kai slowly opened the tent, and immediately retracted when he probed out, well, it's okay.
Ji Kai pretended to be calm and walked out of the tent, looked around, and then paced lightly to the place where the warning device was arranged.
The branches of the trees did not change, but the three slanting gravel that supported them had fallen to the ground, and a fat gray rabbit was gnawing on the tender grass in a bush four meters away.
It was the hare that touched a branch of a tree as it passed by, knocking down the gravel, and the bell that was bound to sound.
Surprise me! As compensation, you can make it up to me for my breakfast today!
Ji Kai hurriedly squatted down, picked up the gravel, and was about to throw it at the gray rabbit, but when he looked there, the hare was long gone.
When I haven't seen anyone? I don't run and wait to be caught? The hare has lived so long, I have long seen the fate of the same kind that has been captured and skinned by humans, and it is important to run away if there is a little wind and grass.
I can't imagine that this rabbit is so cunning! It's a pity, I still have salt with me, and I want to have a barbecue in the wild! Ji Kai thought hatefully.
Ji Kai didn't want to think about it, just with his body, he hadn't practiced, and he didn't have an accurate head in his hand at all, that is, the rabbit stood there and didn't move, can he hit the rabbit or not!
After brushing his lower teeth with the leftover mineral water he drank yesterday, and wiping his face with some cold water, Ji Kai didn't plan to eat breakfast, anyway, he was used to skipping breakfast, and there was no problem with being hungry for a meal or two.
After packing up the tent, empty water bottles, bells and other things, put them in the backpack, check the fire from last night, the ashes have long been cooled, there is no heat, Ji Kai still covered the traces of the fire with mud.
"Forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility"
Ji Kai praised his performance. He didn't want to think about it, as far as the situation last night was, if he really wanted to prevent fire, he should put out the fire pile while sleeping, fortunately there was no strong wind last night, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After reopening a bottle of mineral water and taking a sip, Ji Kai continued on the road.
The morning in the forest is a little cold, although it is only early autumn, but the air humidity in Shuzhou is high, and it is in the forest, and the light wind still makes people feel cold.
Ji Kai quickened his pace, trying to warm himself up after he moved. I used my cane to pick at some dew-stained branches from a distance, and walked in places where there were few weeds, but I still got wet on my trouser legs.
Listening to the beautiful chirping of the birds, adjusting the direction of progress according to the compass, gradually going deeper and deeper into the dense forest. On the way, I encountered some unknown bugs, colorful, and disgusting at first sight. I even saw a few emerald green snakes more than two meters long, as thick as an adult's wrist, which frightened Ji Kai to go around far away.
The rotting leaves under your feet are getting thicker and thicker, and there is a slight mist between the trees, so you can't see far at all, and you need to wipe your glasses with a tissue from time to time, otherwise it will be hazy.
Holding back the smell of rotten leaves, although Ji Kai also wanted to speed up his pace, for the sake of safety, he still used his cane to probe the ground before walking. Who knows if there will be any snakes and insects under these leaves, even if there are no snakes and insects, and it would not be good if there were a pit or a stone or something.
Finally, after about three or four hours of walking, the fog gradually dissipated, and a small valley appeared, and if Ji Kai hadn't tripped over a tree vine and fell to the ground, and when he got up, he would not have been able to find this crack that was only one person wide.
Looking inside along this crack, many vines are entwined in it, and it is very difficult to walk inside. I finally got out of this crack more than 20 meters long, and the inside suddenly opened up.
It is a small valley, about the size of two football fields, surrounded by high mountain walls and thick trees. The valley is overgrown with weeds, and there is a waterhole in the center, and I don't know how deep, and occasionally some small animals can be seen.
Ji Kai recalled the language scene in his mind, and it seemed to be here. In the plain area of that year, after encountering a mudslide, I didn't expect that it would go through many changes later, and it turned into a valley, which can only be said that nature is really amazing!
Hehe, I didn't expect that the people of the ancient Shatuo Kingdom actually lived here back then, and it seemed that there were still some things left, what is even more interesting is that Ji Kai found that the original site of the ancient tribe should also be here, but it is not too sure, and it is necessary to find an obvious marker to determine.
Ji Kai walked around the mountain wall, looking around for something. When approaching the northeast side of the valley, Ji Kai tripped over something under his feet, and when he looked down, it was a stone raised from the ground, 20 centimeters high, the size of a basin.
Just as he was about to leave, Ji Kai suddenly thought of something, quickly put down his backpack, took out a multi-functional folding shovel from it, and dug it along the perimeter of this stone.
It has been digging to a depth of almost half a meter, and the underside of this stone has not been fully exposed, but Ji Kai has been able to determine the origin of this stone. At that time, such a statue of more than 10 meters high was placed in the center of the ancient tribe, saying that it was a statue, but it was actually a large stone found by chance, but the shape was a little human-like, and the witches got it and transported it back to the center of the tribe, and called it the incarnation of the gods, and worshiped every day.
This is supposed to be buried here by the mudslide back then, and it seems that it was not washed down by the mudslide at that time.
Ji Kai's mood now is both happy and depressed, happy that he has found the right place, and depressed that the underground secret space is still 5 meters underground, so if you want to accurately find the underground secret space, not to mention how to find the position above it, it is to dig directly into the ground, you have to dig 15 meters deep underground.
15 meters deep earthwork, not to mention the size, just a square size of ground, dig down 15 meters, think about this labor intensity, Ji Kai gave up directly without thinking about it.
Forget it, the east is not bright and the west is bright. There is no chance to get the body strengthening pill, how can the things left by the Gushatuo people be worth a little money, right?
After Ji Kai figured it out, he didn't continue to look for it. I didn't have breakfast today, and after walking for so long, I just did physical work, and now I'm tired. Sit down against the sculpture, take out the water and compressed food, and stop heating it, just dry and eat.
These greasy things are very greasy to eat cold, and Ji Kai has no appetite to eat them after eating two pieces. After drinking a large bottle of mineral water, I burped, took out a cigarette from my body and lit it, as the saying goes:
"A cigarette after a meal is better than a living immortal. ”
After Ji Kai finished smoking a cigarette, he felt that he had finally rested enough, but his legs were still a little sore, so he endured it and continued to look for it.
