Chapter 175: The Bones in the Cave
Moon Shadow Fuxian only left a moment in advance, but when Wu Zhiyuan chased him out, he couldn't find her. The surrounding pine waves are undulating, the night is blue, and it is expected that the moon shadow Fuxian must be hiding his face and running wildly, so he disappeared.
Wu Zhiyuan stood in the pine forest, looked around, and suddenly felt very confused, he began to regret a little in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have stimulated the Moon Shadow Fuxian, in case she couldn't think about it for a while, or there was an accident because of this, this was not what he wanted to see in his heart.
While hesitating, there was a slight rustling sound not far ahead, this sound was completely different from the sound of the wind blowing in the pine forest, it was Wu Zhiyuan who heard it at a glance, he followed the sound and saw that a pretty cyan figure was running forward with his feet, and it was really the moon shadow caressing the immortals!
Wu Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously and chased after the figure. He followed closely as he stared intently at the back of Moon Shadow Fuxian, for fear that he would lose her in the unknown night.
The two of them kept a certain distance from each other, and soon they came out of the pine forest, and in front of them was a flat hillside, and as far as the eye could see, there was barren wormwood that was knee-high.
Moon Shadow Fuxian was heading east, which was a bit unexpected by Wu Zhiyuan, he hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to follow.
It was late autumn and the grass withered, but the rhizomes of wormwood were thick and not easy to lodging, and walking in the wormwood bushes was much slower. Wu Zhiyuan saw the Moon Shadow Fuxian patting the wormwood beside him with both hands as he walked, as if he was venting wantonly, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, just when he felt compassion, the Moon Shadow Fuxian in front of him suddenly let out an exclamation, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly looked up, and saw the figure of the Moon Shadow Fuxian suddenly disappearing into the wormwood.
Wu Zhiyuan was secretly frightened, and hurriedly rushed forward, he came to the location where the Moon Shadow Fuxian had disappeared just now, and suddenly stopped.
I saw that under my feet was a dark and bottomless deep hole, presumably the Moon Shadow Fuxian had just stumbled and fallen into this hole.
Wu Zhiyuan leaned over at the entrance of the cave and looked carefully into the cave, although there was a moon in the sky at this time, the blue moonlight could not shine into this narrow cave, so it was impossible to find out the situation in the cave at all. He tried to shout the name of the Moon Shadow Fuxian into the cave a few times, but he could only vaguely hear his own voice echoing in the cave.
Wu Zhiyuan was about to withdraw his ears from the entrance of the cave when he suddenly heard a very subtle "whooshing" sound in the cave, which was very similar to the sound of water flowing. "Is there water in this hole?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, listening to the sound in this cave, if there was really water, this water should also be flowing living water.
There is water in the cave, and it is even more dangerous for the Moon Shadow Fuxian to fall into it, thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan reached out without thinking and grabbed the wormwood at the edge of the cave, and at the same time stretched his feet into the hole, and after his whole body was suspended into the hole, he let go and jumped in.
I thought that this hole would be very deep, but I didn't expect that as soon as I let go, Wu Zhiyuan's feet quickly touched the ground, and at the same time, he was sure that the location under his feet was dry stone, and there was no water.
But at the same time, Wu Zhiyuan also heard the sound of the water in the cave becoming clearer, and he didn't know the situation in the cave, so he cautiously squatted down to prevent the danger in the cave from suddenly attacking him, and at the same time opened his pupils, trying to adapt to the dim light in the cave as soon as possible.
Although there is no light in the cave, there seems to be a fluorescent substance in the cave wall, which constantly emits light blue fluorescence, and it is barely visible in the cave. Wu Zhiyuan squatted quietly in place, making sure that he was completely adapted to the light in the cave, then slowly stood up, he looked around, took two steps forward, and found that this hole was criss-crossed, there were six or seven holes around him, and he was now at the intersection of these holes.
There are as many bifurcated holes as there are Moon Shadow Fuxian possible destinations, Wu Zhiyuan looked at each cave carefully, all the holes were basically the same, and there was no way to see the clues from them.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally walked into a hole directly in front of him, because according to common sense, in the absence of a special choice, everyone will go straight forward, and Moon Shadow Fuxian will not be an exception.
As soon as he walked into the entrance, Wu Zhiyuan found that there was a shallow stream close to the stone wall under his feet, and the sound of "whooshing" water heard at the entrance of the cave was emitted by this stream. Wu Zhiyuan felt a little thirsty, but the origin of the stream was unknown, so he endured it and didn't drink it.
The stream was narrow, only half a meter wide, but there was more than a stone path under Wu Zhiyuan's feet that could be walked, and he looked around as he walked. The stone wall of this cave is uneven, there is no trace of artificial excavation, it is very like the magic of nature, but it is a bit strange to think that such a deep hole can be naturally formed under the surface.
The stone wall in the cave can actually emit fluorescence, although it is extremely dim, but it is very bizarre, the fluorescence in the reflection of the stream, constantly reflects a piece of mottled glass and broken silver-like shadows, it is beautiful. Wu Zhiyuan guessed that the stone on this stone wall must contain some kind of fluorescent substance that can emit light, so this kind of spectacle appeared.
In order to verify his point of view, he stretched out his finger and gently wiped it on the stone wall, but found that there was a layer of white stuff on his finger, Wu Zhiyuan swiped it with his finger, and this white thing was like salt precipitated by seawater.
"Is the water in this stream salty?" Wu Zhiyuan guessed in his heart, and at the same time, he began to suspect that this cave might have been completely filled with water for a while, otherwise there would be no traces of seawater precipitation on this stone wall.
Wu Zhiyuan continued to observe and move forward, it seems that this hole is just an underground undercurrent river, just a natural formation, there is nothing strange, thinking like this, his heart is much more relaxed, and the steps under his feet are no longer cautious and slight, between lifting his feet and landing on the ground, he only heard a crisp sound of "click", Wu Zhiyuan looked down and saw that he was stepping on a white object under his feet.
He picked up the white object and put it in front of him to take a closer look, and it was actually a bone!
Wu Zhiyuan was unprepared, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly threw the bones in his hand out, and as soon as the bones fell to the ground, he saw that there were seven or eight skeletons lying on the ground!
After a long time, Wu Zhiyuan stabilized his mind, he squatted down to take a closer look, and was immediately surprised, these skeletons are thin and small, the bones are thin and short, and they are all baby bones! None of these babies will ever be more than three years old when they die!
This scene shocked Wu Zhiyuan indescribably, he has seen dead people, zombies, and evil ghosts, but he has never seen the bones of so many babies, why would these babies die? What would their bones be in such a place?
Wu Zhiyuan stared at the white miserable bones of the dead in front of him and was stunned.
