Volume 2 The Lost City Chapter 151 Search
I immediately whispered to Lao Wang, what's wrong?
Lao Wang Ba whispered: "He's coming out." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"He? What is he? River Demon? "I was very surprised to desert.
Lao Wang Ba didn't pay attention to us, just slowly squatted down, put his ears close to the ground, and listened to the movement below.
Knock knock, knock knock!
It was like the sound of a heartbeat.
This voice is all too familiar to me, and I have heard it in that mysterious underground world.
Are these two voices coming from the same person or thing? Who the hell is that? I'm a little suspicious now, but the underground of this swamp is also part of the mysterious world underneath.
But what we didn't expect was that the sound of the knock lasted for a long time before it disappeared without a trace.
My brow furrowed, what was going on? Could it be that he really sensed the pure panmen aura on our body, so he wasn't ready to hurt us?
Lao Wang Ba laughed wildly: "I just said that the telekinesis here does not refute the Panmen people, it acquiesces to us to go, and acquiesces to us to continue to move forward." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily, we weren't in danger.
But the fact that there is no danger now does not mean that we can continue to walk unharmed, and God knows what awaits us next?
This is just the beginning, what really awaits us is the danger from the Twelve Witch Ancestors' Tombs.
I have a thought, is the purpose of the things that were sealed in the depths of the earth to stay here to protect the tombs of the twelve witch ancestors? Or the existence of the Tomb of the Twelve Witch Ancestors, could it be to seal the thing below? Nothing is known.
We crossed the swamp safely.
The swamp is full of remnants from the past, bones, equipment, and even the bones of some horses.
When Bradbury encounters some small objects, he will carefully store them. These things may not have much value on their own. But the memories contained in it are precious to Bradbury.
After walking through the swamp, the kappa said that he would not go any further. I read some disappointment in his eyes, maybe it was because the river demon didn't come out and made it feel depressed, maybe it just wanted the river demon to kill us, or maybe we killed the river demon.
When we got ashore, we had a headache about the kappa.
The kappa has brought us ashore, what should we do with it? It is said that it will continue to walk with us, and maybe it will come in handy in the future, they are "indigenous" and familiar with the terrain and environment here.
But the kappa refused to go any further, and the grandfather pulled the rope hard, and the kappa lay on the ground like a corpse. Bradbury threatened it with death, and it refused to go.
The desert was a little scared and said that there might be something in front of him that he was afraid of. If you can't do it, just kill it.
I asked rhetorically, if we killed it, would the kappa come to us for trouble?
Deserted and said that he would let him go, dragging him like a dead dog, which was a burden.
I said what if he was released and he bothered the kappa to trouble us?
The nose of the desertion is crooked, and he says what do you say, can I listen to you?
I sighed and looked at my grandfather, hoping that he would make up his mind.
Grandpa walked up, looked at the kappa condescendingly, and said coldly: "If you dare to bring your men with me again, I will let you die a good death." ”
As he spoke, Grandpa kicked the kappa aside and let go of the rope.
Grandpa is ready to let the kappa go.
The kappa was immediately relieved and hurried into the swamp and disappeared.
We continued to walk forward, and according to Bradbury, about ten kilometers ahead, there was a big snowy mountain. At that time, he encountered heavy fog on that snowy mountain and was separated from his companions.
I knew there must be something strange on that snowy mountain.
But we had barely taken two steps when we suddenly heard a pop behind us, as if something had jumped out of the water.
So we turned our heads at once, only to find that the kappa had jumped out of the swamp pool again, and was half-kneeling on the ground, and was kowtowing to us.
I flattered, what does this mean? Kowtow to us? Is this thanking us?
Not only me, but everyone was stunned, looking at the kappa inexplicably, not knowing what this little guy was doing.
The kappa suddenly hurried up, stretched out his little paws and pointed to the marsh, chattering about something.
I said, "Could it be that we came so that the next thing is no longer aimed at the kappa, so the kappa is thanking us?" ”
Grandpa immediately nodded: "Very likely." It seems that the river demon used to toss the kappa a a lot. ”
"Let's go." Lao Wang Ba said: "These little animals are quite conscientious. ”
Kai Xiaoxiao sneered and said, "Yes, I have more conscience than some people." ”
Lao Wang Ba smiled dumbly, he knew that he was scolding himself insinuatingly, and he didn't say anything.
We had only taken two steps when the kappa suddenly rushed in front of us and blocked our way, chirping and pointing to the snowy mountains.
As we walked forward, the kappa became more anxious and jumped up and hit us in the leg to prevent us from going on.
I knew that the kappa must be grateful to us, so he knew that the snowy mountains were in danger and would not let us go on.
Professor Will suddenly said, "It suddenly felt like it wasn't thanking us. ”
I immediately looked at Professor Will, "What do you think, Professor Will?" ”
"Could it be that the river demon below has asked the kappa to warn us not to go up the snowy mountains again? This is actually the meaning of the river demon. ”
Professor Weir's statement is also probable. But I don't think it's very likely. If the kappa was really forced by the river demon to warn us, why did he kowtow to us just now? I can't explain it.
I crouched down and looked at the kappa: "What's on that snowy mountain?" ”
The kappa was chirping, probably not understanding what I meant.
He deserted me and dragged me up, and said what kind of person are you talking to this animal? I think since the kappa has said so, let's not risk our lives, don't go up the snowy mountain, and it would be better to go around from the side.
Yes, now is not the time to be reckless, and even if we can get there, what about these horses? The physical structure of these horses is destined to make them unable to climb the snowy mountains.
So I agree with the point of desertion.
Lao Wang Ba was a little embarrassed, saying that this snow-capped mountain is actually the starting point of the Kunlun Mountains, which is very far away, and it is impossible for us to bypass it. The only thing that can be done is to find a weak point and go around it from there.
Unexpectedly, we came to the starting point of the Kunlun Mountains.
Lao Wang Ba explained, of course, this mountain range is officially not recognized as the starting point of the Kunlun Mountains, but from the geographical environment, it is almost connected with the Kunlun Mountains, so Panmen has always regarded this place as the real starting point of the Kunlun Mountains.
Having made up our minds, we continued on our way, ready to reach the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and then bypassed.
The kappa seemed to want to follow us.
Bradbury was a little unhappy, for he suspected that the kappa was following us, and that he was deliberately plotting to get rid of him.
But the kappa was spiritual, and Bradbury drove it away. At last it knelt down again for Bradbury, begging bitterly.
In the end, it even took the initiative to hand Bradbury the cable that was still tied around its neck, which was to reassure Bradbury that it would willingly surrender to us.
Kappa are "indigenous peoples" after all, and we may be able to help a lot in the future. If nothing else, it's a stretch of the floor, and if you can show us the way, that's the best.
So in the end, Bradbury nodded yes.
Kappa showed us the way in front and we followed closely behind. The further I went, the more scarce the grass became, and the land became more and more barren, and I was worried that if I continued to move forward, I would run out of food and grass for these horses, so I would let the horses eat and drink enough in advance, and then continue to move forward.
In the evening, we entered the snow-capped mountain area. The snow-capped mountain looked at the past from afar, like a pillar of heaven, white throughout, connecting the sky and the earth. I'm desperate, these horses won't be able to cross the snowy mountains.
We rested for the night at the foot of the snowy mountains.
The place was sparsely populated, the horses had little food or grass, and I even thought pessimistically that the horses would eventually be reduced to our food.
After finding a piece of bare land, we sat down to rest, changed into the cotton clothes that had been prepared long ago, and still felt a little cold, and finally we went to the neighborhood and searched for some dry branches, and after lighting them, we caught some hares and pheasants and the like, and ate them.
Still not interested in human food, the kappa dug under the ground. However, there were no earthworms in the freezing temperature, and in the end they just dug up some roots and weeds and ate them.
The night was fine, and my sense of vigilance disappeared a lot, and I felt that the snowy mountain should not be in any danger, and if there was anything, I would have made some noise when I saw a flame last night.
But after daybreak I found that there was one less horse, and there were many horse footprints on the ground, which annoyed me greatly, and glared at Bradbury, blaming him for not looking good last night.
Bradbury didn't refute either, just explained that he was too tired and fell asleep.
Damn, I'm annoyed for a while, it's an hour when the horse is gone, but what about the equipment inside? Without anything here, our plans could be at risk of miscarriage, and possibly even our lives.
However, after Lao Wang Ba checked, he found that most of the food was lost, so we don't have to worry, it's a big deal that we can always fill our stomachs by hunting some game here.
What we didn't expect was that not long after we continued walking, we found that there were some things scattered on the ground not far ahead.
We were ecstatic, it seemed that the burden of dry food had been broken, or it had been turned upside down by the horse. We were in a hurry to put away the dry food.
It's not a lot, but at this special moment, these dry foods may have saved our lives.
And as I continued to walk, it didn't take long to find some dry food again. I'm so happy in my heart, will our equipment be turned upside down little by little? So we simply followed the horse's hoof footprints.
