Chapter 211: The Tomb of the Heavenly Fox God—Ruins of the Ancient Village
"So that's the case," Chen Zhi whispered, thinking to himself.
What Fat Wei said is actually very reasonable, and it is true, anywhere in this world, there will be a reasonable biological chain, even in the Divine Domain.
In the primeval forests here, it is clear that there is a missing link in the biological chain, and there is no supreme predator.
In the primeval forest, the highest predator in the ordinary sense is generally some large carnivorous beasts, such as in the Daxing'an Mountains of Heilongjiang, the man and bear are the most invincible upper food chain in the mountains, and in some jungles in the tropics, lions and leopards are the highest predators. And here, there are no big carnivores, if it's really as Fat Wei said, these big carnivores are reduced to food. That proves that in this forest, there is definitely a higher creature that is stronger than these beasts, and its size must be very large, so what will this higher creature be? Was it the huge black shadow they had just seen on the opposite hillside?
"Go back to sleep! Everything will be said tomorrow at dawn, and the soldiers will cover the water and earth, and besides, we are not unprepared to deal with large monsters before we come. Chen Zhi whispered to Fat Wei.
"Hmmm! Then I'll go to bed first. Fat Wei agreed, twisted his ****** and crawled back.
In order to keep his mind clear tomorrow, Chen Zhi tried his best to relax his nerves, silently recited the sleep mantra and fell asleep, and slept for more than two hours.
The next morning, when it was dawn, the old somersault called everyone up, and counted the people. After a night's rest, everyone's strength has recovered a lot, chewing some compressed biscuits to make breakfast, going to the mountain spring to fill it with water, packing up and preparing to leave.
The parrot was really young, and although he had not slept after a night of wind, he still behaved vigorously, and he volunteered to explore the way ahead with a gun and four eyes.
Chen Zhi was studying the next route with the old somersault, only to hear the voice of the parrot sounding on the other side of the woods,
"Brother Xiaozhi~, come and take a look".
As soon as Chen Zhi heard the parrot calling him, he immediately jumped up and called Fat Wei to run towards the forest together.
In the distance, I saw the parrot and the four-eyed standing on the top of the cliff, pointing to the woods on the opposite hill, where the huge black shadow had been haunted yesterday.
"Could it be that the shadow has reappeared?" , Chen Zhi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly jumped up the cliff to look ahead.
"Brother Zhi, what do you see there? How do I see a house there? The parrot finished and pointed to the back of the trees opposite.
Chen Zhi looked forward, it turned out that he didn't see clearly when it was dark last night, and in the mountains and forests opposite, there was a white place, as if there was a low-lying valley, and there were dots on it that looked like buildings.
Chen Zhi hurriedly opened the treasure bag on his back and took out the folding binoculars inside the outdoor equipment bag.
This telescope is made of pure titanium alloy, which is very light, and when folded, it is only the size of a fireframe, but it has a very good field of view when used.
Chen Zhi looked through the binoculars, and there was indeed a village in front of him, with a large waterfall leaning against the back of the village, and some dense low houses, faintly appearing in the cracks of the mountains and forests. The valley was surrounded by greenery and dense trees, and it was impossible to see the exact appearance of the houses.
"Holy, isn't that a village? Could it be that there are still people living in it? Is it a fairy? Fat Wei held up the binoculars and said in surprise.
Chen Zhi looked carefully with a telescope again, and saw that although the valley was densely wooded and the villages only showed a little shadow, from the distribution and form of the houses, it definitely belonged to the architectural style of the ancient Han people.
"If there are any immortals in that village, let's go and see." , Chen Zhi put down the binoculars and said to Fat Wei.
At this time, Old Somersault and Ghost Knife and others also came over, and they were surprised to see the village on the other side of the mountain.
"We must go over and have a look," Chen Zhi said to Old Somersault with certainty, "This whole mountain is isolated from the world, it is a foreign space, and there is no sign of human life in sight, and that village cannot appear there out of thin air." ”
"Yes!" Old somersault nodded, "We have to go there and have a look, maybe the Celestial Fox God Tomb is there." ”
Chen Zhi knew that the valley where the village was located was the place where the huge black shadow appeared yesterday, and if they went over now, it was actually very likely that they would encounter that behemoth, which was more dangerous. But now that village is their only clue in the vast mountains, where they are likely to find traces of the tomb of the Heavenly Fox God, so even if there is danger, they must go.
Four eyes looked down at the trend of the whole mountain range, the opposite mountain belongs to the land surrounded by mountains, the middle basin valley is low-lying, the current path can only be from this slope down the mountain, when you reach the mountainside and then turn back, you can climb to the opposite mountain.
"Let's go down from here, and wait until we reach the opposite hill to find our way, and if the journey goes well, we should be able to climb to the opposite valley before dark and find the village." , Four Eyes said to everyone.
Four Eyes' words were agreed by everyone, and everyone quickly returned to the campsite, packed their bags, and began to walk down the mountain according to their original formation.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to get down, this sentence is true, the way down the mountain is very difficult to walk, the dew in the mountain here is huge, and the surface of the cliff is slippery and easy to fall. The density of the forest on this mountain is indescribable, there is little place to stand in the depths, and the vegetation here is not known to be of what species, densely coiled on the ground, covered with thorns, and wrapped around their legs like vines.
The dead branches and leaves on the ground are covered with one layer of leaves, and they sink one step at a time. I don't know how many years have passed at the bottom, and the rotting branches and leaves and the beasts that have died trapped in them emit a rancid smell. The stench, mixed with the scent of red pine and wildflowers, smells strange and disgusting.
From time to time, they can see some large animal bones, and the skulls are very strange, with long fangs exposed on them, which makes people feel like they have returned to prehistoric civilization. The young fast gunners, who had been very active and chatty just now, seemed to sense the danger signal and stopped talking.
Later, when they reached the mountainside, they found that the ground was in very bad condition, and the thick fallen leaves were covered with a layer of cover, and they could not even see the ground. In order to prevent falling into the perennial accumulation of fallen leaves, Chen Zhi later thought of a way, let everyone pull a cable together, one by one, if one person is trapped and can't move, then the others will quickly use their strength to eat milk and pull and pull, just walk forward one by one.
In this way, after walking for more than 4 hours, they finally reached the opposite mountain.
Chen Zhi looked at it, this mountain is shrouded in green, it is under the steep cliff and dangerous peak, the highest place above the head, the clouds are thick, the mountain skin is full of green rocks, and countless vines and broad-leaved plants have grown on the cliff, all green as far as the eye can see, and a piece of vitality.
Looking at the valley ahead, the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain in the middle is getting lower and lower, and it is full of large primeval forests. The forest is reckless and green, all kinds of plants are dense and abnormal, the canopy of the old trees shades the sky and the sun, and there are many strange flowers and fruit trees that are unusually bright and can not be called at all. Countless caves, deep valleys, streams and waterfalls, the more you look at it, the more unfathomable you feel, the depth makes people dizzy, a hazy and mysterious scenery.
"This is truly a pristine place completely isolated from the rest of the world!" , Old somersault leaned on a stick, panting and sighing. "Four-eyed, can you find the direction ahead? How to get to that village. ”
Four Eyes jumped up the rock, just about to look ahead.
At this time, Fat Wei raised his binoculars and looked into the jungle below, "Sensei has explored the way, I know where that village is, you see that there are many colorful butterflies over there, that village must be there." (To be continued.) )
