Chapter 246: Silent
Qiu Yan looked up, it turned out that the signal smoke in the distance had become thinner and thinner, I don't know if what happened over there, or if the signal smoke was burned out, looking at this, this smoke will definitely not last until everyone arrives.
In the jungle, without the guidance of signal smoke, people will definitely not be able to reach that place without navigation.
"Good guy, what's going on?" Li Mowu scratched his head, asked Xi JX Jiang Weiyan, climbed up the canopy, took the position of the signal smoke as the central axis, and marked it on the compass with the strange rocks on the cliff at the edge of the basin in the distance as a reference, and said. "As long as you walk to the key position between these two cliff rocks, you will inevitably pass the burning point of the signal smoke. However, this jungle is dense, and even if the error is about ten meters, it is possible to miss it, so we have to speed up our feet and try to get close to the vicinity before the smoke goes out. ”
This could not be delayed any longer, and everyone immediately straightened out their equipment, confronted the compass with Xijiang, and walked into the swamp in the direction of the signal smoke.
It was very easy to pass through the water at the edge of the swamp during the day, because the water level of the swamp where the rain gathered was high and clear, and Qiu Yan looked for the stones that could be landed at the bottom of the water, and swam without a place to stay.
It was a relatively sparse rainforest zone, which was obviously on higher ground, and there were many connected "tree groups" protruding from the water, like some huge islands, and you could see a large amount of rocks mixed in the silt beneath the area, and it seemed that the water level was not deep.
But if you go inside, you will find that the trees are very dense in this area, and after only about two hundred meters, the canopy is so dense that it can't steal the light of day. The roots of the tree are intertwined and intertwined. Qiu Yan actually had an idea before, that is, to make another bamboo raft, so that he didn't have to move forward so carefully, but when he looked at this underwater environment, he knew that the bamboo raft was also difficult to move here, and he had to walk with his feet.
Going deep into the forest, the light was very dim, and soon all around were terrible tree roots, the roots were full of vines, and the vines were covered with green moss, and the dampness was pressing, and the way of winding was overwhelming, and most of the places required all the people to crawl down to barely pass, making people feel like entering a huge cave full of trees.
Li Mowu cut down the vines blocking the road, because almost all the trees have a large number of roots and vines connected to each other, so everyone hardly needs to drip water, and it is very stable to walk on the thigh-thick vines in the air.
However, what made Qiu Yan strange was that in such a dense woods, it was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of a few people marching, no other movement could be heard, and the silence was a little uncomfortable.
"What the hell is this place?" Li Mowu complained while chopping rattan. "I don't even have a single fucking bird shit?"
"Why, it's like there's nothing here." Qiu Yan always pays attention to every move around her, and the stillness is really abnormal, giving people the illusion that we may be the only creatures in this rainforest besides these trees.
"Maybe there are so many snakes here that the birds have eaten them all. Li Mo said.
Xijiang thought for a moment and said. "And what are these snakes eating now?"
Thinking of that kind of snake, several people were nervous again, but all the way over, there was no trace of any snake, which surprised everyone.
Tense his nerves and continue to move forward, and soon Qiu Yan saw some trees wrapped in the front of him, protruding from the water surface similar to the remains of ancient buildings, because the time is too old, these remnants have become stones of different shapes, a large number of vines and mosses take root in the cracks of these buildings, and then wrap the whole body, mixed in the rain forest It is difficult to distinguish, and you can only find it until you are in front of you.
These buildings must have belonged to the top of the building at that time, so they could still protrude from the water, because you can't see the underwater part, you don't know what the shape of the whole is, but if you look at the top, they all look like some simple towers. There are a lot of them, high and low, large and small, and they look like the kind of Tallinn of monks.
I basically didn't see the remains of the Vatican clan all the way, but now I finally saw it, and I was relieved. A few people didn't have time to stop and check these ruins, and quickly went deep into them, but although subjectively they didn't want to study, but the route forward was winding, and there was always a time to go around these ruins, Qiu Yan found that although these ruins have gone through thousands of years, they are extremely solid and very solid, and what is strange is that all this kind of rubble has a lot of round holes, which are obviously polished when they were built.
The round hole is not big, it is not small, and it is not possible for people to pass it, but things that are smaller than people are not a problem.
Li Mowu looked strange, and when he passed by, he subconsciously looked inside with a glow stick, but he couldn't see anything, only the sound of water below. I don't know where it leads.
Xijiang didn't have time to pay attention to this, so he urged him to leave quickly, Li Mowu knew that he was in a hurry, so he had to take a hasty look and follow.
The absolute area of this valley is not large, the more you go inside, the silt under the water is significantly reduced, and the remains of various monuments under the water are exposed, very clear, forming a very strange but spectacular scene, the depth of the water is only about two or three meters, and the countless remnants of the broken stone and the flourishing tree roots under the water are mixed together, so that Qiu Yan feels that there is only a thin layer of water, as if in another world.
It was not until this time that Qiu Yan had the feeling of entering a desolate ancient city, which was more barren than Xiao Li's 'Lu family', looking at these remnants, he could vaguely imagine what it looked like when he was prosperous here, but time has passed, even if it is a prosperous city, it has finally returned to dust, and the earth has returned to the earth, and it cannot stop the eternity of time.
Qiu Yan sighed with emotion, and suddenly the speed of the water flow under his feet changed, and there seemed to be a downward steep slope in front of him. Everyone be careful, there are too many trees here, and slipping and stepping on the air is a serious injury.
Walking a few more steps around a big tree, Li Mowu exclaimed, and Qiu Yan saw a huge strange face suddenly appear in the dense forest in front of him, less than ten meters away from everyone, the size of a truck, with green spots on his face, big eyes and high nose, it was a huge stone sculpture wrapped in moss and vines.
Li Mowu unscrewed the glow stick and irradiated it, and the body part of the stone sculpture sank into the swamp, leaving only the head, which merged with the dense forest, showing a very strange squatting posture in the water, as if it was about to suddenly spread its wings and rise up, just like the momentum before the feline attack. You can also see some strangely shaped black shadows under the water below the stone carvings, and I don't know what has sunk.
Everyone looked at each other, Qiu Yan subconsciously looked at the sea of trees behind the statue, silent and gloomy, in the area behind the stone carving, as if some great danger was quietly waiting for these uninvited guests.
