Chapter 120: A Strange Figure
The cracks were damp, and the stone walls were covered with fungi and shade-loving plants, which grew more and more luxuriant the further down they went, covering the cliffs like a thick blanket.
After descending more than 20 meters, when the rope was about to end, his feet stepped on the ground, and a protrusion appeared.
The dragon spirit tested it with his feet, it was very strong, and then he carefully let go of the hemp rope, stood close to the stone wall, and turned his head left and right to observe the surrounding environment.
It turned out that he was standing on a stone staircase more than a meter wide, and the stone steps were sloping, and it seemed to be a passage connecting the upper and lower levels.
However, most of them had collapsed, and the position where he was standing was only a small section of two meters long, and it was impossible to see clearly from any distance.
He tried to find traces of cannibalism in the dim space, but all around him was shrouded in fog and darkness, and there was a dead silence.
Except for the fog blown by the air current, nothing moving could be seen, not even a single sacrificial rat.
"What about the rats? Is it a specific day to climb up from below? "The dragon spirit was most worried about encountering this thing, but fortunately it didn't.
The crack has widened to more than ten meters here, and the situation on the opposite side is not real. The stone walls were covered with vines, clinging to the stones like nets, and some of them ran through the two sides, dragging the bark in the air.
"They climbed the vines and left." He crouched down, examined the footprints on the moss, and muttered to himself.
The dragon spirit moved over, grabbed the vines on the edge of the stone steps, and continued to climb down, following the traces left by the cannibals.
There is moisture and moss on the surface of the stone wall and vine, which is very slippery and a little difficult to climb.
Fortunately, there are a lot of vines in the cracks, and they hang densely like cobwebs in the old house, and even if you miss and fall, there is a high chance of being hung, so the dragon spirit is not very nervous.
After climbing down for a while, the cliff on the opposite side was completely invisible, and the crack had turned into a bottomless underground abyss.
When I looked up, there was a bean-sized spot of light far away, which was the crack when I came in, and that crack was just a small hole in the abyss that was exposed to the ground.
Further down was a thick fog, and it was getting darker and darker, making it difficult to see. Thanks to the fresh scars left by the cannibal on the moss and vines, the dragon spirit did not chase it away.
After crawling in the fog for more than ten minutes, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I breathed freely, and it turned out that I had come out of the fog layer.
The light here is much brighter, and I can vaguely see a winding red light more than ten meters away, and it turns out that there is a winding red light at an unknown depth under my feet.
Sensing the steaming heat beneath his feet, the dragon spirit understood that it was a river of magma.
The space here is getting wider and wider, and it can be seen from the red line at the bottom that the length of the abyss is boundless, and the width is at least fifty or sixty meters.
The long vines are tangled in the air into clumps of beehives, and the stone walls are full of huge fan-shaped stone moss, and many strange flowers and plants are flourishing.
The traces of cannibalism are completely lost here.
The dragon spirit sat on a stone and wiped his sweat while looking around, how to find such a large place, who knows where they got in.
Just as he was about to go searching, he suddenly saw a figure swaying on a vine ball hanging not far in front of him.
The dragon spirit perked up, gathered his eyes to take a closer look, and saw that the shadow was hidden in the vine pile, looking sneaky, as if he was peeking at himself. Looking at the tall figure and hairless head, there must be a bald head!
He couldn't help but snicker, and said with a smile in his heart: "Hehe, you want to ambush me here?" Just in time. ”
The dragon spirit pretended not to know how to turn his back and waited for the bald head to come and attack him, but he didn't come after waiting for a long time, and finally lost his patience.
"Don't come out yet!" He picked up a rock and smashed it hard.
The stone hit the bald head, and the bald head screamed, jumped up, held his head in both hands, and stretched out his neck to look at the dragon spirit from behind the vines.
"Hey, we're meeting again!" The dragon spirit grinned and waved in greeting.
Unexpectedly, the bald head was like seeing a ghost, so he ran reflexively, jumped to the top of the vine ball a few times, and climbed to the opposite side along a vine.
The smile on the dragon spirit's face froze, this thing is too timid, right? Hurriedly chased after him.
He didn't climb up the vine ball, but grabbed a hanging thin vine and swung it over. As soon as the castration of the thin vine was not finished, he slashed far in the air, and accurately grasped the vine where the bald head was, just below the bald head.
The bald head originally thought that the other party would climb over step by step along the vine connecting the vine group, and it would take a long time, and it would be impossible to catch up with him, so the speed of climbing was not very fast.
Unexpectedly, the dragon spirit actually 'flew' over, and instantly reached his feet, screaming 'wow' and desperately climbing up.
"Poof." The dragon spirits laughed out loud, this bald head is really a waste of wood.
Since he met a coward, he just grabbed and led the way, and hurriedly accelerated to climb up, trying to grab the bald man's ankle.
But the bald head actually climbed fast, like a monkey, and 'rubbed' a few times to widen the distance.
"How did this guy climb so fast?" The dragon was suspicious.
Climbing this kind of agile action is by no means what the big bald head is good at, he is confident that compared to climbing vines, the two bald heads combined can't compare to him, and the situation in front of him is really suspicious.
Looking up, I found that the bald head on it seemed to be different from the bald head.
The bald head is very strong, the body is wide and thick, and there are many burdens hanging on the body, but this bald head is slender and long, even thinner than the female bald head.
And he still has a 'silk' hanging all over his body, and the whole body is a "pig", and his body is dirty like moss, exuding the smell of decay.
Although the bald head is not very hygienic, it is by no means this insignificant and dirty appearance.
"Could it be ......" The dragon carefully made a terrible guess, and he felt incredulous and frightened.
"It's not a bald head!" His face was gray, and as soon as his hand was loosened, he slipped down and landed on the vine mass, and immediately drew out his stone knife to guard against it.
It's really scary to have a stranger in this kind of place.
His heart was beating violently, and he stood in place for a long time before he gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it rationally, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Although that 'man' is very strange, he is a weak chicken who is as timid as a mouse, so he should not be able to threaten himself.
As for his origin, there are too many strange creatures in this era, the abyss is so big, and there are abundant plants, water, and heat, it is not surprising that there is a human race.
"What should I do if I touch a toad and can't find a cannibal?" The dragon spirit shook his head and sighed, his eyes fixed on the 'person', and only a figure could be seen in the haze.
I saw him climb along the vine to the stone wall and stopped, grabbed the vine with both hands, kicked on the stone wall with both feet, turned his head to look, and his eyes flashed with oily green light.
Those emerald green eyes kept pulling out filaments of light in the shaking, like a cat in the dark night.
Seeing this, Long Jing smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is a creature that has lived in the abyss for a long time, and its eyes have evolved more photoreceptor cells. ”
Just as he was considering his next move, the vine that the man was holding suddenly broke, and the strange man screamed and fell down.
The dragon spirit was taken aback, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that after he smashed several vines in a row, he finally fell on top of a ball of vines, turned over numbly, and soon ran away.
Looking up at the other side, it was gray, the dragon spirit's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
