Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 45, River Guard
Chen Tao suddenly shouted, making everyone feel frightened, it was hard to get rid of the Dementor Mouse, no one wanted to experience something like that again.
Yan's strength was so great that he couldn't break free at all, Chen Tao patted Yan's arm and motioned him to let go.
"Whew....... You can't pinch me like that, it's too uncomfortable. Chen Tao gasped, "But it's really me who was careless." ”
As he spoke, the others climbed down from the stone pillar. Uncle Long walked in front of Chen Tao with an arrow, glanced at him, and raised his hand to slap Chen Tao's head.
"You rabbit, heart disease is going to scare you out!"
"Hehe...... Chen Tao rubbed the back of his head and smirked, not knowing what to say. Yang Lixuan, who saw the crowd, nodded at him and said, "Just now, thank you." ”
"It's fine."
"I saved Taozi's life at you, and I owe you a favor in the future." Haozi patted Yang Lixuan's shoulder with a grin, and it seemed that his vigilance and nervousness towards Yang Lixuan had eased a lot.
Haozi's height is not as tall as Yang Lixuan, standing only up to Yang Lixuan's mouth, looking at this scene, Chen Tao suddenly felt a little interesting, especially the bulky gas mask on his head, which was really funny.
Yang Lixuan glanced at Haozi sideways, didn't say anything more, and walked to the shore by himself.
"Hey, this kid!" Haozi was a little dissatisfied, Chen Tao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the shore together.
Everyone went ashore one after another, holding their flashlights and looking around. The river is deeper than expected, and you can't see the bottom when you light it with a flashlight. The river is long and wide, zigzag and stretches into the distance, with no end in sight.
"It's strange, it's just that the stone is black, how can this water be black?" Mountain ghosts shine on the flowing river channel.
"Maybe it's the light, or maybe there's something in the rock formation here that's affecting the quality of the groundwater." Uncle Wang said.
"When I came, I heard from the locals that there are many people who start to grow gray hair at a young age, and their skin will inexplicably grow some black spots, and even their teeth are a little different from ordinary people, will it have anything to do with this?" Yan said.
"I don't rule it out...... The place is still very barren, and many villagers drink directly from the groundwater in the well. Looks like you've put a lot of effort into it, huh? Uncle Long replied.
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can you support a good pot......"
Yan's answer was very light, as if it meant something else, but it made people unable to hear what he wanted to say, anyway, Chen Tao didn't understand.
"I'm afraid that this pot will be uneven, so I will inevitably spill some soup."
Uncle Long replied to Yan with a smile, and after that, the two never spoke again.
Looking at the two of them playing dumb riddles, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a crazy impulse, and secretly said in his heart:
"This Yan shouldn't be as simple as ordinary people......
"So, which way do we go next?" Looking at the front and back sides of the river, Uncle Wang asked.
"Although this underground river channel is tortuous, you can see some terrain trends...... Uncle Long stood on a protruding rock, looking at the upstream and downstream of the river:
"The upstream is narrow and tortuous, the downstream is flat and wide, the yin dragon comes out of the mountain, the green clouds are flat, and the wood gas rises to the water...... I can't imagine that there is such a rare dark vein hidden under this! ”
"So much, what do you mean?" Boss Zhang asked.
"This is a dark dragon, go in the direction of the water, you will get something!"
Uncle Long's tone was very affirmative, and it could be seen that he was very confident in his judgment.
"Windy...... Come from there," Yang Lixuan pointed to the back of the river.
"Since there is wind, the air should be safe, and there may be an outlet upstream." Uncle Long took off his gas mask and said.
Everyone took off their bulky gas masks one after another, and Chen Tao exhaled lightly and said, "I can finally breathe through the wind, this thing is too aggrieved!"
"Let's go, be careful!"
Uncle Long jumped off the boulder and beckoned everyone to move forward.
The river was wide, with high rock walls on both sides, and long vines could be seen climbing everywhere, some of whose roots were deeply embedded in the rock formations, as if they had grown out of the black rocks.
"What the hell are these vines, they have even penetrated the rock formations, and they have grown out of the rocks? ......" Chen Tao wondered.
"I'll just say, that crack was collapsed by these vine branches, and you still don't believe it!" Haozi shone around, and suddenly exclaimed,
"There's something on those stone walls!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Haozi's flashlight, and on the dark stone wall, under the intersecting vines, there seemed to be a square stone cave. The cave is located on a high level, and it is covered by vines, so you can't see it until you don't pay attention.
"Wait, it's not just that, here, there, there!"
Soon, they discovered that at some point, many square grottoes began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the river, and each grotto was crawling with vines.
"Gotta go up and see, the rock wall here is so smooth, we don't have the tools, we have to find a way." Uncle Long looked at those grotto roads.
"I'll try."
Yang Lixuan stepped forward and looked at a relatively close cave road above his head.
"Hey, are you serious, the stone wall ......" Before Haozi finished speaking, Yang Lixuan had already moved.
"Take it." casually threw the flashlight to Chen Tao's side, and Chen Tao, who was still stunned, hurriedly grabbed it in his hand, and saw Yang Lixuan's long stick raised to his chest and twisted his hands, and the long stick suddenly turned into two short sticks.
He took a few steps back, glanced up at the top, and flicked his right hand back, the sharp blade popping out of the barrel with a cold light.
Yang Lixuan rushed forward a few steps and jumped hard, raised his foot and kicked several steps on the stone wall by inertia, and slammed the gun in his right hand against the stone wall, and in just a short moment, the person had already jumped five or six high on the stone wall.
He grabbed the short spear in his right hand, hung his body on the stone wall, looked up at the grotto diagonally above, and with a sharp force on his right arm, he kicked his side foot, and jumped up again under the surprised gaze of everyone below, and when he stepped on the short spear on the wall by falling down, the whole person bounced up.
Sou......
In mid-air, Yang Lixuan flicked his left arm, and the short spear in his hand flew towards the grotto above like an arrow off the string. There was a crisp sound, and the spear was firmly planted on the inner roof of the grotto.
The thin rope on his left hand was connected to the end of the short spear, and Yang Lixuan quickly pulled the thin rope and climbed into the grotto above. The eyes of the people below were straight, and they froze in place.
"This ...... This...... Yang Zai hangs Weiya, right? Boss Zhang stammered a little.
"No wonder the price is so high, there are really a few brushes!" The mountain ghost touched his head and said.
The corners of Yan's mouth were slightly slanted, revealing an unpredictable evil smile, and his eyes flickered,
"It seems that we still have to think about plan C......"
"Okay, this kid is really powerful....." Haozi's expression was a little strange, most likely unconvinced, but he had to admit that Yang Lixuan seemed to be much more powerful than he imagined.
Chen Tao felt that he no longer regarded Yang Lixuan as a person, grabbed a flashlight in one hand, looked up and looked at the grotto quietly, Yang Lixuan had been in for a while.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
The grotto above had not moved, and just as Chen Tao was about to shout Yang Lixuan, a figure jumped down from above.
Pedaling, turning over, landing on the ground, pulling back the two short guns stuck to the wall, Yang Lixuan put the short guns into a long stick and walked in front of everyone, raised his hand and held something and said:
"Each of these grottoes has a wooden coffin like that, and inside the coffin are the ancient corpses wearing waist tags."
Looking at the familiar black waist card in Yang Lixuan's hand, everyone's hearts began to become a little clearer.
"It turns out that the Japanese brought those ancient corpses from here."
"One more thing." Yang Lixuan motioned for everyone to turn off the flashlight and unscrewed the ultraviolet light on the headlamp.
In the short darkness, with the light of purple light, there were little fluorescences on the originally dark stone wall, on the stone pillars, on the vines, and on the upside-down stalagmites...... The flashlight shines like countless stars, giving people the illusion of being in the starry sky, like a dream. If there is enough light, this must be a fairyland.
There was no need for Yang Lixuan to say anything more, everyone understood what he meant. There are black worms here, and they are very scary. At this time, Chen Tao remembered that along the way, his body was covered with all kinds of liquids. I raised my sleeve and sniffed it, and although I was wearing a gas mask, I could still smell an indescribable smell.
"After going out, I don't know how long I have to take a hot shower to get rid of, and I may have to waste a lot of shower gel...... Chen Tao thought nonsense.
Continuing along the river, you can see a grotto symmetrically on the stone walls on both sides of the river at intervals of more than ten meters, and it is crawling with black vines.
"This ...... It seems to have been intentional, so why bury them on a stone wall? Chen Tao said.
"Don't you think this arrangement looks like something?" Yan Dao.
"It's the guards! This river is a burial pit! Chen Tao suddenly realized.
"Use the river as a burial pit...... It's the first time I've seen such a burial system, and I always feel that this place is not simple. Uncle Long looked at the grottoes and said, "Could it be ...... We're already in the tomb? ”
