Chapter 173 Searching for the Jade Cave

Gogo Mountain.

The weather is getting clearer, the sun is smiling, and as the snow slowly melts, the yellow snow is gradually becoming unbearable.

Now the snow is only as thick as Huang Xue's knees, looking at this posture, if you have to wait for the snow to melt, I am afraid that it will take half a month, to say the least. So, Huang Xue discussed with Long Xuhu, didn't wait, and went up the mountain to find the jade cave.

With the dragon's beard and tiger's water escape technique, the skis of the two became the most convenient means of transportation on the snow, and they slid all the way to Gouwu Mountain, which was much faster than walking.

But in a moment, the two came to the foot of the mountain, and seeing a white mountain peak in front of them, the dragon bearded tiger said: "Huang Xue, this mountain is so big, where will the jade cave be?"

Huang Xue frowned, carefully examined the trend of the mountain peak, and fell into deep thought.

According to what Shan Qiang said, this jade cave is a rumor, there is only one sentence in total, in the position of the mountainside of Gouwu Mountain, there are many beautiful jade in the cave, the size of the cave entrance is not clear, and the space in the cave is not clear. So what useful information can be inferred from this rumor?

This rumor is strange because it is too simple, completely lacking the modifiers that ordinary rumors should have, such as being very secretive and easy to find, and these modifiers are often more widespread than the content of the rumor itself.

In the absence of these, it is not difficult to deduce that this rumor is not like someone bragging, but just to convey a normal message.

According to Shanhui's temperament of calling everything a monster, it is difficult to communicate with other species on an equal footing, so this person who has been to the jade cave is likely to be a Shanhui.

A Shanhui regards the location of the jade cave as a normal information transmission and thinks that it is not a big deal, so there is only one explanation, that is, the entrance to the cave is not actually in a hidden place, and it may be easy to find.

Shanhui knows very well that she doesn't have the ability to fly on the wall, so the places where Shanhui can easily find it basically excludes some too steep positions.

Thinking like this, Huang Xue slowly locked his gaze on the mountainside, a few relatively flat places.

According to her inference, the jade cave should be in these locations, so let's find them one by one.

After greeting the dragon bearded tiger, the two of them put their skis on their backs, and chose one of the easy places to climb and walked over.

Climbing a mountain in the snow is actually quite difficult, mainly because the ground is too slippery. But fortunately, there is a dragon beard and a tiger to open the way, his feet are tiger claws, basically will not slip, he stepped out of a relatively easy road, Huang Xue followed a lot easier.

It is not easy to find the entrance to the cave, and in such weather, there is a high chance that the entrance will be blocked by snow and cannot be seen from the outside. However, Huang Xue had a clever trick, every time she went, she shouted, and then asked the dragon beard tiger to cast a spirit sealing spell, concentrating her ears to listen to the echo. She guessed that the location of the cave entrance and the echo would be a little different from the other places, but with her ears, it was difficult to tell.

Not to mention, in fact, this trick is quite effective, when they found the third flat place, Long Xuhu heard her scream a few times, and suddenly pointed to a mountain wall covered by heavy snow and said: "Huang Xue, it doesn't seem right there." ”

Huang Xue was overjoyed, hurriedly ran in the direction of his finger, took out the cloud-piercing arrow and probed it on the mountain wall a few times, and sure enough, he found a hollow place. Got it!

She hurriedly called for the dragon and the tiger to come to help, and the two of them used their hands and feet together, and after a while, they really cleared a hole that was three meters high and two meters wide. Huang Xue was about to walk in, when Long Xuhu suddenly grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute, there seems to be some strange sounds in the cave." ”

"Strange sound?" Huang Xue was stunned when she heard this, and she also gathered her ears to listen, the space in the cave should be very large, and there were some strange vibrations, but the echo was very scattered, she asked, "Is it the sound of the wind blowing?"

The dragon bearded tiger scratched his head and said, "I can't hear it either." As he spoke, he dispersed the spirit sealing spell, twitched his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "It's not good, Huang Xue, there is something in it." ”

Huang Xue hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

The dragon bearded tiger once again carried the spirit sealing spell to strengthen the sense of smell, and said while smelling: "It's human...... No, it's dead people, a lot of dead people. ”

Huang Xue was startled, and asked again: "If you smell it carefully, how many dead people are there?"

Long Xuhu thought for a moment and said, "At least a hundred, or, two hundred, maybe more, I can't smell it." ”

Huang Xue frowned, savoring the words of the dragon and the tiger, more than 200 people died in the jade cave, could it be because they found this treasure and distributed the spoils unevenly, so they killed each other? It's not impossible, this kind of thing is often played in TV dramas, and human greed is sometimes really uncontrollable. In this way, there is no doubt that this cave must be a jade cave.

Thinking of this, she pulled the dragon beard and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

She held the cloud-piercing arrow in her right hand and performed a fire-breathing spell in her left hand, holding it in front of her for illumination, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the cave one after the other.

The space inside the cave is very spacious, it does not shrink from the entrance of the cave, and the air circulation inside is very good, and it does not make people uncomfortable. The road was relatively long, and the two of them walked for half a cup of tea before they came to a wide place.

Huang Xue turned up the flames a little more and shone forward, and when she saw the ground in front of her, she instantly exclaimed "ah".

The wide space in front of us is more than 100 square meters, and the ground is full of human bones, large and small, and there are no less than 200 skulls alone.

Fortunately, I heard Long Xuhu say that there were many dead people in this cave, and she was also mentally prepared, so she was not too frightened.

Long Xuhu said: "Huang Xue, look, I said that there are many dead people. It's strange, it's so good, why do you want to die here?"

Huang Xue plucked up her courage at this time, stepped forward and carefully examined a stick bone, this person should have been dead for a few years, the bones were miserable and white, she used the cloud-piercing arrow to flick it twice, feeling a little tough, not too brittle, not like the calcified white bone that has been dead for many years as said on TV.

Wait a minute! She was suddenly startled in her heart, and looked at the skeleton in the cave again, and her heart swelled with infinite horror. These people don't look at the bones as if they had been dead for too many years, but why are all the bones so clean, and there is no rotting flesh at all?

Also, these people are dying here, what about their clothes? Clothes and these things don't turn to dust in a short time, are they all naked and come in looking for treasure?

The most important point is that she has not seen a single piece of jade from the time she entered the cave until now, if it was because of cannibalism, these people should have killed each other in front of the treasure, not died here.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Long Xuhu: "Dragon Xuhu, you listen to it again, smell it, and see if there is anything abnormal." ”

As she spoke, she also picked up the Spirit Sealing Spell and began to listen intently. At this time, I entered the cave a lot, and the echo was not so messy, and the clear and rhythmic sound of the wind came, one time big, one time small, one time big, one time small, no, that was not the sound of the wind, this sound...... It looked like the breath of some animal! And the sound of the breath was slowly approaching here.

Could it be that there is some monster in the cave here, and the dead people did not kill each other, but were eaten by this monster in the cave?!

Long Xuhu also smelled something different at this time, and said urgently: "Huang Xue, someone is here, no, it's not a person, it smells very stinky." ”

At this time, a clear sound of footsteps began to come from the cave, as if the person who came was not small, and the footsteps were slightly heavy. Huang Xue didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and shouted: "Something is coming, let's go out first." With that, he pulled the dragon beard tiger and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the outside of the cave.

As they ran, they heard footsteps behind them hurry, apparently spotting them and catching up.

Finally running out of the cave, the two stopped, looked back into the cave, and after a while, they saw a huge monster rushing out.

The monster was more than four meters long and two meters tall, but its appearance was extremely peculiar.

I saw that its body was like a goat, but it had a huge human head on its neck, and a bloody mouth on its head, and its fangs sticking out of its lips like a tiger. A pair of eyes do not grow on the face, but are located under the ribs on the sides of the body. The four claws are not the hooves of a sheep, but the palms of human hands.

Huang Xue had Shan Hui and her nephew as the foundation before, and she already had some immunity to these strange-shaped monsters, and she was quite calm at this time, she snorted coldly: "What kind of monster are you?"

"Boom," the monster let out a strange laugh and said, "It's been five years, I haven't eaten a human for five years, I really miss it, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to the door today, and I brought a tiger demon, interesting, interesting." Don't you know me? I am the mountain god of this Gougo Mountain, the owl. ”

Huang Xue scolded: "Nonsense, how can any mountain god eat people, you monster is really hateful, isn't it that the villagers under the mountain let you eat it?"

The owl said: "In this mountain, I am the most powerful, I am not the god of the mountain, who dares to call the god of the mountain?" The villagers under the mountain, I just asked them to send me two people to eat every day, I didn't expect them to want to escape secretly. Since they wouldn't let me eat them all, I grabbed them all and ate five a day, and finally I didn't let them eat them all. ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she was immediately furious, this monster is so ferocious, it is really everyone who can be punished. She said angrily: "Since you admit it, let me meet Huang Xue today, and you should also eliminate harm for the people." As he spoke, without hesitation, the cloud-piercing arrow in his right hand flew out like lightning, and stabbed at the owl's face.
