Chapter 193: The Lock
"Huh?"
Wigwam?
I never imagined that there was a place to live between the two mountains.
Ma Shuo thought that he would definitely eat and sleep in the open, if he guessed correctly, when he was able to cross the swamp, the next step would be to be brought here to continue practicing.
Walking towards the shack with curiosity, although it was a little early to come, this was a normal place to continue cultivating martial arts in the future.
Walking into the shack, Ma Shuo let out a soft "huh?" in surprise. I saw that behind the wall on the left was not a mountain wall, but a deep and dark tunnel that led to nowhere.
The height is less than two meters, and the width can only accommodate one person alone. When I got closer, I saw that the tunnel was actually a whole boulder carved into the bottom of the mountain.
As for how much space inside the interior is, it is not yet known. So Ma Shuo lit the simple fish oil lamp he carried with him and prepared to go inside to find out.
In the dim light of the fire, I could only vaguely see about two meters in front of me. After a few steps, I turned into the middle of the mountain, and a small wooden door immediately appeared in front of me.
Walk up and raise your hand to push it gently, and the wooden door will open easily.
A flat round stone cave of about 400 square meters, completely dug by hand, is impressively displayed in front of Ma Shuo's eyes.
Without causing any cracks, make a big hole in the stone foundation at the bottom of the mountain. This is a wonderful skill, but the things in the stone cave make Ma Shuo even more curious.
There are all kinds of locks, most of which are piled up like hills around them. On the middle of more than a dozen high and low stone platforms, like works of art, there are large and small exquisite locks.
This is?
Ma Shuo pursed his lips, after all the martial arts learning is qualified, will he officially learn to open the lock here?
It's a pity that he has arrived in advance, not only has his martial arts not been practiced well, but even Liu Lin is not there.
Also, it doesn't seem to be very safe. If you just take a break today, you will have no problem at all.
Turning around and closing the door to leave, as soon as he walked out of the shack, he heard a burst of eagle chirping from somewhere overhead, "Goo~Goo~!"
Looking up, a large eagle about three feet tall with a tan body was landed on a branch of a tree at a height of 100 meters on the steep mountain wall. His head swayed from side to side, his eyes staring at him alternately.
Ma Shuo stopped to look at him, but the eagle spread its wings more than two meters wide, and after a burst of gliding, it circled and flew quickly up the mountain.
"Huh!" Ma Shuo was surprised that there were large carnivores here. In other words, it is very likely that there are still many herbivores?
In any case, at least you don't have to worry about going hungry. If you can find their hunting spot or nest, you can also test whether the two skills are real.
Thinking of this, Ma Shuo immediately found a place on the dirt ground, dug a pit and buried a fire to cook soup.
There are only enough snakes and fish for two meals, and new food sources must be found as soon as possible. After resting for a while in two large bowls of broth, I began to prepare to find a way to climb the mountain.
At this time, thinking of the six big characters on the boulder, he hurriedly trotted over to take a closer look.
When Ma Shuo bypassed the big bluestone, he was stunned again.
The mountain was not originally connected to the cliff, but a stone corridor that seemed to be made of nature. At an angle of nearly 45 degrees, it points obliquely to the eastern sky, but the width is less than a meter.
Looking at the large and small stones stuck in the cracks above his head, Ma Shuo unconsciously swallowed his saliva, and muttered in a low voice: "A glimmer of heaven! This is really a glimmer of heaven!"
There is no end in sight, and darkness and dampness always dominate the main theme in this crevice of the mountain that seems to have been split by a knife. The stones that will fall at some point are the most common accompaniments.
Danger is a frequent visitor to the passages, and any creature that enters it will face the possibility of losing their lives at any time.
Unconsciously taking two steps back, Ma Shuo decided to look elsewhere first. If there was another way to go, he wouldn't want to climb up from this damn silver lining.
It seems to be worry-free and effort-saving, but once you can't avoid the falling boulder, you will be smashed into a ground of flesh and bones.
Two hours later, Ma Shuo returned to the front line and sighed.
I've seen all the places I can find, but it's not that I can't get on. Instead, the mountain wall is steep and has many branches with thorns or hooks, and from time to time some gravel and dirt will roll down. I'm afraid that in terms of danger, it is even more than this line.
That's it, Ma Shuo gritted his teeth and turned back to the shack. When he came out, he had already picked up the package again and walked into the sky cautiously.
A few gravels occasionally fell from the top of his head, so frightened that Ma Shuo immediately stopped and stuck to the side. It wasn't until the "crackling" movement completely disappeared that he walked up again.
The tension in his heart was accumulating more and more, and the continuous cold gusts of wind on the first line of the day could not blow away the cold sweat that oozed from his anxiety. Occasionally, it flows into the eyes and mouth, and it is slightly bitter with a salty taste.
The eagle eagle circled upwards against the wind, and only slowly slowed down until it was close to the top of the mountain, and flew into the nest in the giant tree on the mountain wall.
If you look closely, there are at least 100 eagle nests, most of which are only young eagles. Adults should be out hunting, and their offspring must learn to fly before winter comes.
Otherwise, when the cold temperature arrives, there is a large decrease in food, and they are likely to be greeted with death.
The eagle eagle can breed to such a large number, which shows that the food source within a radius of 100 miles is extremely rich. This is still on the south side of Sister Mountain, where there are almost no animals.
There may be dozens of empty nests that are empty and starved to death due to the lack of food.
When the eagle fell back to the nest, he saw a bearded man sitting on another thick tree trunk next to it.
At this time, the man sat cross-legged with his heart facing the sky, and there was a translucent white layer on the surface of his eyes, which was rapidly fading and disappearing.
When his pupils returned to dark brown, the man stood up from a cross-seated position. His eyebrows were locked and he looked between the two mountains, as if he had seen Ma Shuo through countless plants and boulders.
He muttered in a low voice, "It's been five years! Since that old man built a stone house, there are human children who can come here alone?"
After muttering, he stroked the feathers on the eagle's head. After the other party "purred" and whispered comfortably twice, he jumped off the trunk of a tree about four meters high.
The landing was unusually light, with only a slight "click".
Then, ignoring the steep slope under his feet, where he couldn't stand at all, he quickly rushed to the dense forest below.
Descend 100 meters into a wooden house built against a giant tree.
Five minutes later, the man walked out. The originally naked and robust bronze upper body has been draped in a beautiful cloak made of brown-red eagle feathers and various snake skins.
I climbed to the top of the tree and took two deep breaths in the wind, and immediately pursed my lips and whistled melodiously.
All the dozen or so eagle owls in the nest immediately chirped in response.
The eagle eagle that had just flown up from the bottom of the mountain also chirped in response, and the man looked at it with his brows furrowed, and the other party immediately retracted and fell back into the nest.
Seeing this, the man smiled slightly, leaned down and took a deep breath. As if some monster was about to emerge from his body, "Click, Click, Click" quickly swelled.
In just a dozen seconds, the head and face body are quickly elongated and covered with feathers. Stretch your arms to the limit and spread your fingers out, quickly extending into a pair of giant wings.
In the blink of an eye, he changed from a tall and strong human male to a large eagle with a height of more than five feet and a wingspan.
The body is larger and stronger than other eagle owls, and even the eyes are more spiritual. As for the color of the feathers and other characteristics, they are the same as the whole group.
With a loud roar, he kicked the canopy with his claws and flew into the sky leisurely with all the eagles.
