Chapter 65: The Secret of the Cave
For a day and a night, the snow monkeys did not rest at all, they drank saliva when they were thirsty, ate dry food when they were hungry, and walked fifty miles during the day and thirty miles at night. There are still forty miles to reach the vicinity of the secret cave. Angela and the Snow Monkey's shoes were stained red with blood, leaving bloody footprints with every step they took. The lips are chapped and peeled, which can not be solved by drinking water, but insufficient blood supply.
Even so, they walked forward without saying a word. Eva told them to rest more than once, but they didn't hear Eva. Another day passed, and in the evening, the six of them finally crossed the last forty miles to the place marked by Teacher Achilles on the map. It is a valley surrounded by mountains. There is a pool of clear water at the bottom of the valley. This small pool is ten meters in size, and the water is crystal clear, with droplets covered with green moss and long aquatic plants. Small fish swim around in the pond water. It is surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, the cliffs are full of rocks, there is no grass, and the surrounding environment is unobstructed, where are the caves!
After two days and one night, the hard work and the final result made it impossible for everyone to bear the excessive expenditure of the body anymore. They all sat slumped by the pond. Eva was also tired and haggard, she tried to practice Qi Cultivation in order to restore her physical strength, and she found that Qi Cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and it was easy to go wrong every time she practiced. Half an hour later, she gave up. Looking at the few people lying motionless on the ground, she stood up, took out the drawings of Mentor Achilles, and carefully compared them with the surrounding illusions.
Eva circled the pond, which was the only way they came, surrounded by cliffs. Eva walked along the edge of the pond, her body almost against the cliff, knocking here and there, finding nothing. The pond was only about 30 meters in a week, and Eva turned around three times without finding it at all.
Eva looked at the map carefully, and the marker was indeed in this place. Eva finally gave up, took off her shoes and sat down on the edge of the pond, where the water was crystal clear and unobstructed, with nothing but aquatic plants and fish. The fish is not big, only the size of a palm. There are quite a few of them. Where do these fish come from? Where does the water come from? Doesn't this little pond never dry up?
Her hand touched a small stone, and Eva threw it into the water, and the fish were frightened, and they all multiplied, and there was not a single fish in the pond anymore. The pond is five or six meters deep and is more like a large well.
Suddenly, Eva felt that something was not right, and the fish hid and never appeared again. The fish are afraid of being frightened, and there is nothing abnormal, but when the fish escapes, Eva is always a little abnormal, and what is abnormal when she falls to the ground.
"I know where the cave is!" Eva shouted excitedly to Angela.
Angela and the others looked drowsy, and after nearly three hours of rest, their physical strength had recovered a lot, and when they heard Eva's words, they all stood up in good spirits.
Eva plunged headlong into the pond, and she swam towards the place where the fish had fled, where the aquatic plants were lush and fluttering in the water. She gently peeled off the aquatic weeds, which were still aquatic plants, and Eva dived into them at once, passing through the one-meter-thick aquatic weeds, which was a dark waterway. Eva mustered up the courage to swim deeper into the waterway. More than seventy seconds passed, and Eva felt suffocated, she couldn't hold it anymore. At this moment, a bright light appeared in front of her, and Eva quickly swam towards the bright light, and surfaced, this is also a pond, which is connected to the outside, but the difference is that there is no sunlight here, and aquatic plants cannot grow, just an empty pond.
On the left hand side of the pond is a mountain spring, and clear spring water bumps out of the pond. And the pond has a small stream in the direction of the cave, which meanders into the depths of the cave.
The other five also made their way to the cave, and Eva climbed out of the pond and walked along the edge of the creek. The cave is just big enough for a man to walk. There shouldn't be light in such a closed cave, but there will be scattered stones in the cave that glow dimly, but this light is enough for everyone to see everything in the cave.
Angela suddenly shouted in amazement: "Shining Stones, there are so many Shining Stones!"
Eva asked, "These glowing stones are called Shining Stones?"
The snow monkey asked, "Is it worth a lot?"
Angela grimaced and said: "It's not valuable, but it's still very rare, if this thing is placed in the daytime, it can't be seen to shine at all, so it's not easy to find, but it looks bright in the dark." The large family would decorate the hall with these stones, which would have a dim light at night even if they were not lit. ”
The six of them walked in the cave for two hours, and some places in the cave were wide enough to accommodate six people in parallel, and some places were narrow, and it was difficult for one person to pass, so they could only wade through the stream.
