Chapter 31: The Stone Chamber
Garten cautiously leaned out halfway out, only to find that the cliff was only a little steep, not directly vertical, if you were careful, you should climb it with the help of the protruding rocks of the cliff wall.
At the bottom of the cliff is a lush deep forest, and when viewed from above, it is green and secluded.
Garten's eyes kept scanning the cliff face, the clutter of rubble, the bushes rooted in the cliff face, all the places that might be problematic.
"There's a hole, it's over there!"
Suddenly saw a dark hole in a relatively remote cliff, and there was a miscellaneous tree growing next to it, blocking most of the hole, Gaten was instantly overjoyed, and finally got the result after more than a month of hard work!
Although he hadn't entered the cave yet, Garten was already seven or eight points sure that the cave was the place he was looking for, after all, whether it was a cliff or a cave on the cliff wall, these were not very common, and it was impossible to have them everywhere.
Garten glanced back at the jungle behind him, and when he saw that there was no one, he climbed down the cliff with his hands and feet.
Although the cliff is a little steep, it is quite terrifying for ordinary people, and they dare not go down even if they are tied with a rope, but for Gaten, who is already a four-star fighter, there are too many places to borrow from this cliff.
Garten's figure is like an ape, no, it is much more flexible than an ape, moving quickly on the steep cliff wall, sometimes encountering no rocks that can be protruded to grasp, Gaten makes a tiger leap, directly across the distance of four or five meters, jumps to the side and continues to climb, just a dozen breaths, falling about forty meters, the last jump, appeared in front of the hole.
Because the location of this cave is quite mysterious, it is difficult for the sunlight from outside to shine directly into the cave, and Garten squinted his eyes for a while, still unable to see the situation inside the cave.
Although Xiao Yan and the others didn't seem to be in danger in this cave in the original book, there was nothing wrong with being careful, Gaten still decided to be cautious, even if this kind of cave was used as a lair by some magical beast, it was not strange.
He took out a piece of moonstone from the ring and flicked his fingers, and the moonstone suddenly fell to the ground a few meters away from the cave.
A faint light emanated from the moonstone, illuminating the environment clearly within a radius of three or four meters.
"This cave seems to be very deep!" Seeing that it was still pitch black behind the faint light, and he didn't know how deep it was, Garten sighed, and could only go into the cave and pick up the moonstone and slowly go deep into the cave.
The cave is not very spacious, and when Garten, a very sturdy figure walks in it, he suddenly feels that there is not much room to maneuver, and he can't even stretch his arms on the left and right.
"If you encounter a demonic beast at this time..."Garten's heart froze, and he became more cautious, and even slowed down his pace a lot.
"Stomp, stomp..."
In the silence of the cave, only the faint footsteps of Garten could be heard.
Just as Garten turned a corner with the entrance of the cave, and before he could see the situation in front of him, he heard a slight sound of breaking the air in front of him.
Garten's heart suddenly struck, and he threw the moonstone in place, but his whole body suddenly shrank back.
A gray figure appeared in Garten's original position, and if he took a step slower, he would pounce on Garten!
Through the faint light emitted by the moonstone, Garten could clearly see the appearance of the gray figure, about two meters long, the body of a snake, the head a little lower but protruding to the sides like wings, flat pieces of flesh, but now hovering in the air inside the cave.
"Rock Serpent!" Garten's face was gloomy and he called out the name of this demonic beast, this kind of demonic beast that lives on the rock wall now appears in the cave, which can not be worried by Garten, a single rock snake is not terrible, although the narrow cave restricts him from exerting his strength, but the restrictions on the semi-flying demonic beast such as the rock snake are even greater, Garten is worried that these rock snakes will use this cave as a lair, then it will be troublesome.
After circling twice in the air, the rock snake lost patience and swooped down towards Garten again, its mouth wide open, and it bit down on Garten's neck.
Garten snorted coldly, and when the rock snake pounced, he avoided the attack of the rock snake with one side of his body against the cave wall, and then quickly grabbed the tail of the snake that appeared in front of him with his right hand and threw it wildly on the surrounding rock walls.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even if the body of the rock snake was as hard as a stone, it couldn't help such a violent beating, and after hitting it more than a dozen times, it quickly lay on its stomach like a dead snake.
Garten threw the rock snake to the ground, and pulled out the dagger on his body to nail the whole snake head to the ground from the snake's mouth.
Hit hard by this, the rock snake really became a dead snake.
Even after killing the rock snake, Garten's face was still ugly, and he pulled out a dagger and kicked the body of the rock snake into the corner, regardless of whether there was a magic core in it, and continued to go deep into the cave.
After walking for another ten minutes, the road ahead was already at the end, and a stone gate with a pale yellow light blocked Gatten's way, and it seemed that if he did not open this stone door, he would not be able to enter it and obtain the treasure.
"Whew!"
Seeing Shimen's Garten, he let go of his tense expression.
"It seems that I was overthinking, but a rock snake happened to enter the cave instead of using it as a nest."
Although he has not seen how to crack this kind of scroll to crack the mechanism in the clan, Garten, who has read the original book, still remembers where the switch of this stone door is.
Squatting in front of the stone door, his hands carefully groped for the ground, and soon, Garten's hand touched a small bump by the door.
The finger pressed the bump down hard, and with the sound of a mechanism moving, the stone door slowly moved upward.
"It seems that the person who built this mechanism was very cautious, and actually set the switch in such a remote position, so as to prevent outsiders from inadvertently stepping on it." Looking at the gradually emerging scene behind, Garten couldn't help but sigh.
Behind the stone door, there was a huge stone room, the walls were inlaid with several fist-sized moonstones, and the light emitted just enough to illuminate the stone room.
In the center of the stone room, there is a seat, on which an old skeleton that has been drying for an unknown amount of time is sitting, and in front of the skeleton, there is a rather large bluestone platform, and there are three locked stone boxes on the platform.
In addition, in the three corners of the stone room, there were several piles of golden coins and other precious belongings, just a rough estimate, Gaten found that these piles of belongings were worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
As for the last corner, it seems to have been used as a medicinal field by the original owner here, and there are some flowers and plants on it that exude a strong medicinal fragrance, even if Garten stands in front of the door, he can still smell it clearly.
Now, even if Gaten doesn't know these flowers and herbs, he knows how precious they are, just take the medicinal materials that Gaten used to refine the Blood Strengthening Pill before, even if he puts those medicinal materials in front of him, he can smell the medicinal fragrance.
And these medicinal materials in front of him, even if Gaten can smell the rich medicinal fragrance from a distance of eight or nine meters, you can imagine how strong the medicinal power of these medicinal materials is, even if it is a third or fourth grade medicinal material!
