Chapter 426: The Strange Valley

……

Outside the entrance of the cave is a stone platform with a size of about 50 square meters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are obvious traces of artificiality on the stone platform. In order to prevent slipping, many stripes are also engraved on the surface of the stone platform.

Passing through the stone platform, there is a staircase that is 5 meters wide and stretches downward! It's not high, it's only eight or nine meters.

At the bottom of the staircase is a circular line of concrete and stone blocks, resembling a city wall. Directly opposite the staircase was a steel gate, but it was broken.

The stone platform is connected to the city wall, and the front of the city wall can be detoured from the left and right sides of the stone platform. After a brief look, Wang Zheng and the four of them stepped on the dead branches and leaves, and walked around the four-meter-wide city wall to the position of the main gate.

Unfortunately, the surrounding dense and tall woods completely affect the view. Except for being able to see that this was a huge valley, Wang Zheng didn't see the giant centipede insect that he was so wary of!

He took out the military high-powered telescope from the space ring and looked around the valley, which was larger than the valley where Wangjiawan was located.

As a result, apart from the fact that it was a huge valley that was completely enclosed on all sides, more than 100 meters deep, and surrounded by towering ancient trees, resembling a sinkhole, there were no other superfluous discoveries.

"Do you see anything out of the ordinary?"

"Nope!"

Wang Qian put down the telescope in his hand at the same time.

"Boss, why don't we go inside?"

After listening to Qian Di's words, Wang Zheng was also very conflicted. After figuring out almost all the secrets of this military base, it stands to reason that there is no need to continue to risk your life because of a little curiosity.

But if he finds nothing and goes back like this, Wang Zheng is a little unwilling in his heart.

Therefore, people are strange and contradictory animals.

"Boss, what do you think that's that?"

At this moment, Dian Wei's voice suddenly sounded.

Following the direction of the other party's finger, Wang Zheng picked up the telescope and looked over, except for a mountain, he didn't find any accidents at all.

"Dian Wei, what are you talking about?" Puzzled, Wang Zheng asked.

"It's that little hill in the middle of the valley! Boss, do you think it doesn't look like the ginseng we saw when we came? ”

"Ginseng?"

At the mention of ginseng, Wang Zheng's attention suddenly focused, and the telescope immediately focused on the small hill in the middle of the valley. From his point of view, the small hill juts out about twenty-six or seven meters above the ground. At its top, there is a plant about 1 meter tall that looks like holly from a distance.

Because the distance was too far, and there were other low mountains of different heights around to confuse his vision, Wang Zheng, who couldn't see clearly, still looked very puzzled.

"Are you sure it's ginseng?"

"Well, look at the shape of the leaves, it's the same as the ginseng plants we saw when we came over, it's a little bigger!" Dian Wei nodded.

Seeing his affirmative look, Wang Zheng turned to Wang Qian and Qian Di, "What about the two of you?" ”

"Boss, we look like each other!"

Three to one, although Wang Zheng was still a little suspicious in his heart, he also became looking forward to it.

"If it's true...!"

Wang Zheng didn't dare to think about it, ginseng with six-grade leaves is very rare, if the plant that grew like a small shrub just now is really ginseng, how many years does it take to grow like that?

"Let's go!"

Say nothing. With this ginseng-like plant alone, no matter how dangerous it is below, Wang Zheng has to break through.

They returned to the stone platform with Wang Gan, went down the steps, passed through the broken city gate, and walked into the forest below.

Around him, there are all ancient trees that have grown for an unknown number of years, with a diameter at breast height several meters wide, forming a huge canopy covering the sky, and also blocking the sunlight on the top, which also makes Wang Zheng, who is walking in it, feel a trace of gloom. But fortunately, there were no giant centipede insects around.

Finally, I carefully walked through the jungle hundreds of meters wide and came to a waist-high grassland. This is more dangerous than the woods just now, which makes Wang Zheng feel more dangerous.

At least because of the lack of sunlight under the woods, except for a small number of shade-loving plants, the vegetation is not too dense, so the line of sight is quite open, and if there is danger, it can be warned in advance. But in this damn grass, who knows what you'll step on with one foot down.

Holding his heart to his throat, Wang Zheng cautiously walked to the middle of the grass, and he was really uneasy, he took out his binoculars again and looked at the hill in the distance.

The sight immediately made him feel excited. He was far away just now, and his eyes couldn't compare to Dian Wei's them, so he didn't see them too clearly. Now that the distance had been cut by more than half, he could finally see clearly. At the top of the hill in the middle of the valley, isn't it the familiar ginseng compound leaves?

Moreover, looking at the dense appearance, I don't know if it is seventy or eighty, or as many as hundreds, anyway, the large number makes Wang Zheng's heartbeat speed up countless times.

In addition, ginseng will begin to give birth after 30 years of age. So, in general, there must be a lot of its offspring around the 100-year-old ginseng.

This is no exception, in addition to the ginseng plant on the top of the mountain that has grown for an unknown number of years, there are many large and small ginseng plants around it. The number of compound leaves is also the only one seen in Wang Zheng's life.

Now Wang Zheng is even more excited, as long as he gets these ginseng, it will be easy for others to complete the task of ginseng garden.

Thinking of this, the desire in his heart instantly overpowered the fear of the danger ahead, and he continued to move forward with Wang Qian. However, as we got closer to the center of the valley, the grass around me became thinner. Moreover, there are more and more large and small rubbles in the ground.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that the distance from the hill was getting closer and closer, and the ginseng plants in the telescope were getting clearer and clearer, Wang Zheng's mood became more and more urgent.

However, just as Wang Zheng was about to cross the last three or four hundred meters and march towards the hill, he was stopped by Wang Qian from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"Boss, look down on the hill!"

Wang Qian, who looked tense, pointed to the root of the hill. Under the difference, Wang Zheng took out the binoculars and looked at it, and found nothing abnormal at first, but there was a black stone cave the size of a bucket there. But just as Wang Zheng was about to ask Wang Gan about the situation, a giant centipede, comparable to an adult's waist, came out of the depths of the stone cave.

The two tentacles swayed from side to side, and then climbed down the mountain. Obviously, this hill is not just twenty meters high as they just saw, there is more space below.

The giant centipede insect that made Wang Zheng's scalp tingle finally appeared. If it weren't for ginseng, he would definitely have turned around and left here immediately, but now it's obviously not possible.

"Let's take our steps lightly, let's move forward little by little."

He lowered his voice and ordered Wang Qian to say a few words to them. Like thieves, a few people sneakily moved towards the direction of the hill under the steaming sun at noon, taking advantage of the surrounding rocks and grass.

As the distance shortened, the thicker mountain below the hill was gradually exposed. Moreover, there are more and more holes like the one just now. The main thing is that from time to time several giant centipede worms crawl out of it. It can be seen that these big guys don't like the sun too much, and often probe their heads outside the cave and then shrink back.

In addition, in addition to more mountains coming into view, Wang Zheng's ears also appeared the sound of gurgling water. At first, the sound of the water was not loud, but when it got closer, it became deafening.

"There's really a canyon in the middle of this valley!" Wang Zheng noticed the increasingly inverted valley, and gradually confirmed his guess in his heart.

I don't know how nature created this terrain. In this huge valley the size of hundreds of football fields, Shengsheng cut a valley in the center that was nearly 400 meters wide, but it was not known how deep it was.

And in the valley, there is a series of peaks of different heights.

From a distance, these peaks only protrude from the bottom of the surface only about ten or twenty meters, but when pulled closer, almost all of them are seventy or eighty meters up, as for how high they are, Wang Zheng can only judge when he sees the bottom of the valley.

"Boss, look!"

When Wang Zheng and the others were still forty or fifty meters away from the edge of the valley, a touch of white suddenly appeared in the valley. At first, Wang Zheng couldn't see exactly what these whites were, but after picking up the binoculars, the expression on his face instantly turned into a shocked look.

"Oh my God!"

After finally reacting, Wang Zheng hurriedly crossed the distance of forty or fifty meters, and when he came to the edge of the valley, he stood on it and watched the situation, completely stunned.

The bones, all white bones, human, animal, and even fish and turtles, like the white bones of the ocean, form a 'white sand beach' with a length of thousands of meters and a width of more than 50 meters along both sides of the river at the bottom of the valley!

Many of these bones have turned white bone meal due to time, and many of them have dried and blackened flesh on them. In addition, the carapace of the centipede giant insect can be faintly seen in the cracks of these bones, which is obviously a garbage dump for them to dispose of the food they can't eat.

As for the giant centipedes, it is clear that they live in the interior of the peaks that are more than 100 meters high and full of large and small caves at the bottom, which are surrounded by rivers.

And this river that runs out of the mountain is undoubtedly a section of the Black Dragon River. And these giant centipedes that hate sunlight but prefer warm environments forage everywhere along the course of the Black Dragon River. And the valley of Wolf's Head Peak is just a foraging spot for them after their evening outings. Otherwise, it would not be possible to feed so many centipede giant insects there.
