Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Secret Cave

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow of the "Sky Bird" spacecraft on the ground had become very narrow. The darkness was eating away at the remaining light in the forest, and the insects chirped louder and louder, and as night fell, the whole forest woke up from its silence.

In this way, the repair is largely completed. Ling Wenxuan stared at the right-wing engine full of iron nails, the damaged parts had been replaced, and they were embedded with iron plates, but it was not clear whether they could take off in this situation. In order to conceal the ship, he activated the ship and slowly taxied to a relatively low terrain, covering it with rattan and large foliage.

After confirming that he was stationed, Ling Wenxuan leaned on the side of the spaceship to breathe, tossing for a long time, making him sweaty, and then he had to look for the Seven Artifacts, without taking a hot bath to recover his strength, it is estimated that he would not be able to walk at all.

Fortunately, the shower on the spaceship was intact during the emergency landing, otherwise Ling Wenxuan would have to go to the beach for an open-air bath...... Forget it, I'm too ashamed to think about it. He wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder to keep his mind in check, and then walked through the hatch onto the ship.

The water temperature was just right, under the light of the incandescent lamp, Ling Wenxuan admired his ketone body in front of the mirror, his face was relatively pointed, his hair was a little unkempt, except for the conspicuous freckles, this face was featureless, neither handsome nor chic. It is the most dissatisfied part of his body, he prefers the muscles on his arms, which are round and bulging, and feel very elastic, I don't know if it is because of the lack of exercise recently, the muscles in his body are not as tight as before.

Ling Wenxuan rubbed his hair and hummed a little song, enjoying the warm hot water. He couldn't help but smugly imagine that Gui Xun'er must have been blowing a cold wind somewhere in Glaze Island City at this time.

The light from the incandescent lamps in the bath is the only source of light in the entire forest, and the brighter it is, the easier it is to attract some uninvited guests.

Just as Ling Wenxuan was drying himself with a towel, a wolf howl suddenly came from outside the spaceship. He hurriedly turned off the lights in the bathroom and got dressed and hid in the corner to make sure he had heard correctly.

Then Ling Wenxuan heard at least four more howls of wild wolves, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly and slowly moved to his handbag, and took out the Spirit Guiding Spell Standing Spear from it.

Judging from the sound, there were at least a dozen wild wolves gathered outside the spaceship, and he was really hit by the crow's mouth, and he unfortunately encountered a pack of wolves. Wait, why did it be some wild wolves that attacked him? As far as Ling Wenxuan knew, since the purple mist pollution, most of the animals on the Glowing Star had mutated into demonic beasts, and purebred animals were already very rare, and the fact that it was purebred animals that attacked him made him very surprised, and it seemed that there were still many unknown mysteries on Glaze Island.

Hearing the movement inside the spaceship, the white-necked and white-chested wolf grinned and let out a fierce howl, and the two westernmost wolves began to try to jump onto the hatch, while the other wolves slowly approached silently.

Ling Wenxuan, who was waiting in the cabin, thought that it was time to make a move, so he drew his gun and loaded it with a fire bullet. When the first wolf finally jumped onto the hatch, he condensed his spiritual power, and immediately formed a triangular magic circle on it, and a flame splashed out along the muzzle of the gun, directly hitting the wolf's abdomen, causing it to howl in pain, and flew out of the hatch and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on its body.

In the face of Ling Wenxuan's provocation standing in front of the hatch, the wolves looked extremely angry, the white-necked and white-chested wolf howled and signaled the wolves to launch a fierce attack, and the three wolves who were holding back their strength jumped up from the nearby grass and pounced on Ling Wenxuan from the east, west, and north.

Seeing that the wolves refused to give in, Ling Wenxuan simply jumped out of the hatch and waved the spirit in his hand, and the flames were thrown at the wolves like a long whip, so that the burned wolves did not dare to approach.

"Hehe, you know it's amazing, this is one of Father Ben's special moves, the flame spirit of the 'Seven Bullets of Guiding Spirits'. Ling Wenxuan flung the fire whip at the white-necked and white-chested wolf fiercely, "Just you brutes, when my opponent is too tender." ”

The white-necked, white-chested wolf jumped back a few steps to avoid the flames of the fire spirit, and seeing that even if it surrounded Ling Wenxuan, it couldn't do anything to him, so it howled a few times and led the wolves to the depths of the jungle.

After the wolves withdrew, Ling Wenxuan gradually recovered from the panic, worthy of being the most primitive and cruel terror in the world, compared to the attack of the demonic beasts, the wolves were more organized and disciplined, and he had not encountered this dangerous situation for many years.

It was a small episode on the way to find the Seven Artifacts, but the same episode, Ling Wenxuan didn't want to hear it a second time. To keep himself safe, he must make an improvised torch.

So he found the drink bottle he had drunk in the morning, smashed half of it, and held the other half in the palm of his hand, stuffed it with cotton soaked in combustible rhombic liquid, and tied it to a small wooden stick.

Ling Wenxuan lit the torch with the remaining flames from the muzzle, and by the faint light he could see the road ahead, it turned out that there was a not very obvious loess path in the grass where the wolves were rushing, and the dense weeds almost covered the entire road, let alone at night, it was difficult to be spotted even during the day.

Judging from the location of the red dot marked by the Seven Artifact Detector, the direction of this trail is exactly the same as the direction where the Seven Artifacts are located, which means that if you follow this path, you will definitely be able to find the Seven Artifacts.

Ling Wenxuan, who had all his belongings, began to set off, holding a torch in his left hand and a long wooden staff in his right hand to explore the way, when there were too many weeds to walk, he used the flame on the torch to burn off a little in order to continue to move forward.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Ling Wenxuan finally came to an area of lawn that was almost circular, and the lawn was surrounded by tall trees, as if a big hole had been dug out by some mysterious force.

Ling Wenxuan sat on a cobblestone nearby to rest, he stared at the Seven Artifact Detector, thinking to himself that he hadn't made a mistake! The surrounding road was blocked by trees, and it didn't look like there was any other shortcut, no, wait a minute!

The rock wall directly in front of the red dot on the Seven Artifact Detector is covered with rattans, and it looks like thousands of tentacles, could there be anything strange about this rock wall?

Ling Wenxuan stepped forward and saw this so-called "rock wall" clearly by the light of the torch, he patted his head, and finally came to his senses.

It turned out that there was not a rock wall in front of him at all, but a cave mouth covered with vines, there would be such a secret cave in this sparse forest in the high mountains, which really surprised Ling Wenxuan, by casting the fire spirit bullet, he burned most of the vines, and the prototype of the cave entrance was able to be displayed in front of his eyes.

Ling Wenxuan threw a stone to confirm the depth of the cave, which at first began with a continuous "click" sound, then gradually became smaller and accompanied by an echo of "click", and finally the sound gradually disappeared.

It can be seen that this hole is very deep, and safety measures must be taken when moving forward. Ling Wenxuan took out a long thick rope from his backpack and tied it to a boulder at the entrance of the cave, and tied the other end to his waist as a living robbery, and then held on to the rock wall on the side of the cave and slowly descended.

By the light of the torches, Ling Wenxuan could clearly see the incantations engraved on the cave wall, all of which were ancient light spell spells, and every time there was a distance, there would be a diamond-shaped incantation symbol, due to the passage of time, these incantations had lost their effectiveness and could not emit light. The artificial steps under his feet had collapsed badly, and he was basically stepping on gravel, which made him very uncomfortable.

All indications indicate that there were once very many people living in this cave, because only a few people could not engrave so many light spell spells, the cave has been artificially modified, the specific purpose is unknown, maybe it is to hide the seven artifacts, or it is the secret research institute of the Glaze Island government, of course, there is another possibility, but with Ling Wenxuan's gradual decline, this possibility has been ruled out.

Not a single dead human skeleton was found along the way, and stalactites and stalagmites remained in their natural appearance without any signs of destruction.

The owner of the cave for some reason, led all his subordinates to leave the cave, according to this reasoning, this cave should be regarded as an absolute secret realm on Glaze Island, except for the owner of the cave and his subordinates, no one knows the existence of this cave, or even if they know, they dare not go to this cave out of fear, if they know, five years ago, when the poison gas incident, the residents of Glaze Island can choose to enter the cave to avoid the poison gas, because the natural environment in the cave can completely block the invasion of poison gas.

The rope tied to Ling Wenxuan's waist had reached the end of its length, and it could not support him to continue walking, untying the rope became the only option, but the swarm of bats above his head made him feel uneasy, and the pair of glowing green eyes stared at him gloomily, as if he was very unwelcome as a visitor.

The sound of the water came from below Ling Wenxuan, indicating that there was an underground river at the bottom of the cave, which was another shocking discovery, he was so happy that he forgot the rhythm of his steps, and fell the stairs, for a moment, he thought he was dead, the inertia made him roll down the stairs like a ball, if his head hit something hard halfway, he would definitely die, fortunately, the last section of the stairs was unexpectedly smooth, except for a few serious abrasions on his hands and feet, there was basically no major problem.

In front of him was a wide and deep underground river, a long-soaked and dilapidated wooden boat docked on the shore, two oars so corroded that it was almost unstable to hold, and the other side of the river was covered with stalactites of various shapes.

Ling Wenxuan endured the pain and came to the side of the ship, leaning down to check the hull of the ship to confirm whether the wooden ship would sink or not.

After the inspection, Ling Wenxuan decided to throw the backpack on the shore to reduce the weight, he went around to the side of the boat, fixed the torch to the bow with a cable, and then gently jumped on the boat, untied the half-cut cable tied to the shore post, let the boat float for some distance, and then began rowing.

Under the light of the torches, the scenery along the way is breathtaking, there are rapids, strange rocks, and what is even more surprising is that there is a waterfall, which is so beautiful that even landscape paintings are inferior.

Ling Wenxuan, who patronized and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, almost forgot that he had arrived at the shore, and when he came down from the shore, he came to a semi-arc area with eight stone gates, and at the position where the word "swastika" was printed in the center, the red dot on the Seven Artifact Detector moved to the center of the screen, flickering more and more rapidly.

Is it just down here?

Ling Wenxuan, who was staring at the swastika spell, fell into deep thought.
