Chapter 40: The Child's Scheming

"I didn't expect this kid to come with us to shed the shell of a golden cicada, but it's not right, there is only one iron chain, and he is walking in front of us again, he shouldn't suddenly disappear, is it possible that he is still holding his breath underwater now?" I frowned and thought, I really don't know why this skinny monkey suddenly disappeared?

"He's up there!" The sharp-eyed demon suddenly pointed to the top of the waterfall and shouted.

I immediately looked up, Huo Ran saw the thin monkey standing on the top of the waterfall is slowly dressing in an orderly manner, after seeing that we are all looking at him, he actually smiled and waved his hand at us, and then I don't know what to do on the chain, the top of the chain suddenly broke, straight down the cliff, but after falling halfway to stop, at this time the chain formed a strange state of folding in half from the middle, and hanging in the middle of the waterfall.

The skinny monkey took one last look at us, made a thumbs-down gesture, then turned and disappeared.

The four of us looked at each other, and for a moment we fell into a rare silence.

After being silent for a long time, the fat man smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that we were put together by a bear child, how do you say he went up?" ”

I shook my head and responded with the same wry smile: "I don't know how he got up, but you see that kid took off his shirt and put it on it before he came down, he must have made all the plans for the next step in his heart at that time, I didn't expect this grandson to be so scheming."

The fat man suddenly sat up from the ground, and said with blazing eyes: "By the way, that kid kowtowed three times before coming down, I thought it was their customs here that didn't care about him, but now that I think about it, it seems that something is wrong, don't hide anything in it, right?" ”

As soon as the fat man said this, I also remembered, this grandson is absolutely impossible to be targeted, I immediately stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, for fear that there would be another change, at this time Ji Gang had come back, and said in a low voice: "Just now I took a turn around the side, and I didn't find anything abnormal, but the terrain here is too low, it doesn't seem to be a canyon, but similar to a basin, sunken dozens of meters underground, the grass and trees here are relatively vigorous, and this canyon is too long, the naked eye can't see the head at all, I don't know how to get out. ”

The fat man raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, and after a long time, he retracted his gaze and sighed: "To be precise, this is not a canyon, but a crack, but the scale of this crack is too large, and the formation time is too long, I'm afraid we are really trapped in it." ”

The little demon had already changed his clothes and walked over, looked at the surrounding environment, and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, isn't it just a crack, it's only about thirty meters high, let's find a place to slow down, and we will definitely be able to climb up by supporting each other." ”

The little demon is not unreasonable, we still have some food in our bags, and we ate a few packs of beef jerky in the same place, according to the fat man, he got the military food from a special channel, and the energy content is particularly high, but it is too much to chew, and he doesn't need to use all his strength, so he can't chew at all.

Although there is food, but the kettle has long been empty, Ji Gang went to the waterhole to scoop some water back, although I am very thirsty, but looking at the green water, it is really unpalatable.

After resting in place for more than three hours, we didn't dare to delay any longer, so we immediately packed our bags, casually found the direction and walked over there, walking for about half an hour, and indeed did not encounter any danger at all, but also did not find any way out.

Ji Gang found a place and tried to climb up, but the cliff was too smooth, even if he relied on his kung fu and climbed about four meters and fell down, then it was impossible for me and the fat man to go up at all.

"Looks like we're dead end again." The fat man was the first to stop, muttering to himself with a look of despair on his face.

The little demon shook his head and said softly: "Don't say that, let's just go where now, let's go forward, let's see the situation, I always feel that the kid didn't lie to us - at least he didn't lie to us in this matter, I guess those skin monkeys won't completely believe them, leading to this maze in the cave is their most effective means of defense, they are only trading with the people in Bailongyu, and they will definitely not believe them 100% in this matter, so after the child and the skin monkey transaction is completed, We can't go out from the road we came from, we can only go out along the back route, so I think there must be a way out on this road, but we are not familiar with it, as long as we look for it, we will definitely be able to find it. ”

I think what the little demon said is very reasonable, but after remembering that the thin monkey took off the chain before leaving, he immediately asked: "Then according to what you say, the thin monkey will definitely leave through this road, so why did he take off the chain when he left?" How did he get down? ”

The little demon is the most thoughtful among us, after listening to me, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "There is not much information known, according to my guess, there are two possibilities, first: give us a misleading message, thinking that he is walking from above, then we will put all our energy into the waterfall, and the correct escape path will be covered." ”

After a pause, the little demon continued: "There is a second possibility, which involves how he got up, which I have been guessing on the road, and now I just have a little eyebrows, say it for your reference, the child came down with a rope tied, and walked in the first one, even if we were briefly blinded by the splash of the waterfall, but he did not have a chance to find a route to climb up, the most likely problem point, is the point where the chain is folded in half." ”

Although the fat man likes to complain, his reaction speed is not slow, and he immediately asked: "Water curtain cave?" ”

"That's right, it's the Water Curtain Cave." The little demon nodded, and then explained, "Behind which waterfall, there is very likely to be a narrow cave, and the kid took advantage of our lack of attention, and then came out of this cave somewhere, and then came out from somewhere above, and this cycle was completed, and the chain was also very easy to explain, when he wanted to come down, he just had to go down this road to the halfway point of the waterfall, and then he could go down the chain again." ”

The little demon's words made me dumbfounded: "Impossible, a teenager who can't even speak, can have such a scheming?" ”

The fat man sneered: "This child in your mouth, the human life on your hands is enough to sentence you to death three times!" ”
