Chapter 600: Into the Bottom of the Cave
readx;?“ Now it's time to get to the bottom of the cave! ”
Song Qi exited the cave, came to the flat ground at the entrance of the cave, took out the flying claw hundred practice rope from the ring, tied the rope firmly to a boulder at the entrance of the cave, and then led the rope, re-entered the cave, came to the front of the low cave that drooped downward, with his head and feet behind, slid down the cold cave wall, and when he slid out two feet away, he felt that he had entered a completely vertical state, and his body was completely empty, and he fell downward. He grabbed the rope hard www.biquge.info and the rope suddenly straightened, dangling Song Qi in mid-air.
The torch that had just been thrown down was blazing on the ground in the middle of the cave. Song Qi lit the light of the torch and looked around. The bottom of the cave is rectangular, about five zhang long, about four zhang wide, and about four zhang high. The ground around the torch can be seen more clearly, but the ground and the four walls on the four sides of the cave wall are dim and dark, and it is not clear to see, because after the torch falls into the bottom of the cave, it does not burn vigorously, and the illuminated area is very limited.
"It's time to go down!" Song Qi's grip on the rope loosened a little.
"Huhu~" Song Qi fell to the bottom of the cave like a free-falling stone. When touching the bottom of the cave, Song Qi's heart suddenly moved, he suddenly grabbed the rope with his hand, kicked the vertical cave wall violently with his foot, and swung his body towards the center of the bottom of the cave like a swing, about seven or eight steps away, he let go of his hands, and with a pop, his body fell to the ground.
But it didn't seem to fall on the ground, because the ground shouldn't be soft and cold, and he looked down and saw that the place where he landed was not hard ground, but a cold water, and he didn't step on the bottom.
If an ordinary person falls into this water, he will inevitably sink to the bottom and drown. But Song Qi was like a fish in water in the water, and he didn't even get his clothes wet.
Suddenly, a dull sound of "purr ~ purr ~" came from behind Song Qi, and then the sound of the giant animal "purr ~ grunt ~" swimming in the water was heard.
Song Qi was terrified, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and by the light of the torches that fell on the water's edge, he found two huge black shadows flanking him from both sides behind him. Song Qi was so frightened that he swam to the shore at great speed, but fortunately, the place where he fell into the water was not far from the shore, only four or five steps away. After arriving at the shore, Song Qi climbed to the shore with a rolling belt, picked up the torch from the ground, and ran to the other side of the cave under the cave wall, there was no way back, he had to stop, turned back to the place where he fell into the water to watch, trembling all over.
The two huge monsters had crawled ashore wet, their mouths looking like crocodiles, and their bodies looking like hippos, and they were bigger than any crocodiles he had ever seen, and more ferocious than hippos. The two crocodile monsters crawled quickly on the ground and rushed towards Song Qi, their huge mouths wide open, snoring and screaming, as if they had to eat him.
Song Qi had no way to retreat, he waved the torch vigorously with one hand, and held the sword high in the other hand, ready to swing the sword to fight the monster, suddenly the two monsters turned around and ran, poofed twice into the water, and dived to the bottom of the water, I don't know whether he was afraid of the dragon scale sword in Song Qi's hand, or the torch in his hand, or the spirit snake pill hanging on his chest. These Song Qi are unknown.
Since the crocodile monsters no longer attacked him, there was no need for Song Qi to pay attention to them.
Song Qi held the torch in his hand, raised his eyes and looked around, and then he lit the light of the torch and examined the environment at the bottom of the cave.
Under the wall of the cave that he had just drilled out of the hole, there was a deep pool four feet long and two feet wide. He just fell into that deep pool. This pool is supposed to be connected to the pool outside the cave.
Song Qi scratched the back of his head, secretly glad that he had kicked the wall before landing just now, and if he fell straight into the water, he would inevitably be torn apart by the two-headed crocodile monster.
He reached out and touched his clothes and pants, and was shocked to find that after he fell into the water, his clothes and pants were not wet. It's so weird!
Song Qi couldn't be happy or surprised, and continued to look at this cave.
The walls were made of granite stones, and the ground was damp, and a few dry bones, a few hats, a dozen shoes, and a few broken knives and swords could be seen scattered on the ground. It seems that Song Qi is not the first person to enter this cave. There must have been a lot of people in front of him, but these people were either fed into the belly of the python or into the stomach of the crocodile, and the corpses were gone, only some shoes, hats, swords, and bits and bones.
Of course, pythons and giant crocodiles don't need to spit out bones to eat people!
Seeing the scene in the cave, Song Qi gasped, felt creepy, and shuddered. Fortunately, I have the Spirit Snake Pill to protect my body, otherwise my fate would not be the same as those people!
In a corner on the other side of the cave floor, there are straw-paved snake nests with several huge snake eggs lying in them.
If the cave was a treasure trove, the gold and silver might have been taken. But Song Qi didn't believe that this was a treasure place, and this should just be the antechamber of the treasure place. Guarded by pythons and crocodiles, even if ordinary people can enter, it is impossible for them to leave this place unharmed.
So where exactly is the door to the treasure ground?
Song Qi picked up the torch from the ground and swayed it in all directions, his eyes sparking back and forth on the walls of the cave on all sides, looking for the entrance to the treasure pool. On the walls of the cave on each of the four sides, there is a pattern of black triangles on the side with water, a green square on the opposite side, a red heart on the left, and a blue circle on the right.
Song Qi's gaze went back and forth over the four patterns, and finally landed on the blue circular pattern. This circular pattern has a pale blue base and a dark blue center. This pattern is quite familiar to Song Qi. He couldn't help but raise his left hand and look down at the sapphire ring on his middle finger. Right! That circular pattern is an enlarged representation of the face of the sapphire ring.
Song Qi was excited in his heart, and walked towards the circular pattern with firm steps. The circular pattern was about three feet in diameter, just as close as you could reach. Song Qi stood in front of the pattern, shining it with a torch, and when he looked closely, he found that the blue pattern was covered with dust and sand, and it looked rather dull. Song Qi raised his hand to brush the dust off the pattern, and the blue pattern gradually became brightly colored, revealing a small hole in the center of the pattern. This hole is about the size of the ring on Song Qi's hand.
Song Qi could conclude that this hole must be the keyhole that opened the door to the hidden treasure.
In fact, there are similar small hollows in the middle of the other three patterns on the four walls of the cave. Song Qi believed that if the wrong pattern was opened, the mechanism would inevitably be triggered, and he would be injured by the pre-installed mechanism at least and killed at worst.
Now Song Qi can confirm that the blue pattern must be the correct pattern to open the door to the treasure. He took the ring from the middle finger of his left hand, held his breath, and carefully tucked the ring into the hole, and with a click, the ring was embedded in the hole.
Song Qi tried to quickly turn the ring twice in the front and back directions. You can't turn the blue pattern in the positive direction at all, but you can turn it in the opposite direction.
After a circle, Song Qi immediately quickly moved a few steps sideways towards the wall, and squatted under the wall with his head in his hands, the reason why he did this was to avoid the relentless accumulation of arrows attracted by touching the mechanism... (To be continued.) )
