Chapter 4: The Silent Valley

When we looked up, it turned out that the signal smoke in the distance had thinned out, and we didn't know if it was because something had happened over there, or if the smoke ball was not enough. If you look at it this way, this smoke will not hold out until we reach it.

In the jungle, without the guidance of signal smoke, we would definitely not be able to reach that place without navigation. We asked Panzi what he could do? Panzi climbed up to the canopy, took the position of the signal smoke as the central axis, and marked the compass with the strange rocks on the cliff at the edge of the basin in the distance as a reference. However, this jungle is dense, and even if the error is about ten meters, it is possible to miss it, so we have to get as close as possible before the smoke goes out.

There could be no further delay, and we immediately straightened our equipment, and with the compass from Panzi, we went into the swamp and headed in the direction of the signal smoke.

It was very easy to pass through the water at the edge of the swamp during the day, because the water level of the swamp where the rain gathered was high and clear, and we could go on the rocks that could settle on the bottom of the water, and swim without a foothold, and we would have passed through half a cigarette to the real edge of the swamp.

It was a relatively sparse rainforest zone, which was obviously on higher ground, and there were many connected "tree groups" protruding from the water, like some huge islands, and you could see a large amount of rocks mixed in the silt beneath the area, and it seemed that the water level was not deep.

But if you go inside, you will find that the trees are very dense in this area, and after only about two hundred meters, the canopy is so dense that it can't steal the light of day. I actually had an idea to make a canoe so that I don't have to be so careful to move forward in the water, but when I look at this underwater environment, I know that the canoe is also difficult to move here, and I have to walk by myself.

Going deep into the forest, the light was very dim, and soon there were terrible roots all around, and the roots were full of vines, and the vines were covered with green moss.

Panzi cut the vines that blocked the way, because almost all the trees had a large number of roots and vines connected to each other, so we hardly had to drip water, and walked very steadily on the thigh-thick vines.

However, what surprised us was that in such a dense woods, it was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of us walking, no other movement could be heard, and the silence was a little uncomfortable.

"The territory of the Queen Mother of the West is really evil," the fat man said as he walked, "He doesn't even have a fucking bird's call?" ”

"Why, the fuck doesn't seem to have anything here?" I thought to myself, the silence is really abnormal, and I have the illusion that we may be the only creatures in this rainforest besides these trees.

"Maybe there are too many snakes here, and the birds have eaten them all." Pan Zidao.

"Impossible, what are these snakes eating now?"

Thinking of that kind of snake, a few people were nervous again, but all the way over, there was no trace of the snake, which surprised us a little.

Tense our nerves and move on, and soon we saw the remains of some ancient buildings wrapped in trees and jutting out of the water, because they were so old, these remnants had become stones of different shapes, and a large number of vines and mosses took root in the cracks of these buildings, and then wrapped around the whole body, mixed in the rainforest It is difficult to distinguish, and you can only find it until you are in front of you.

These buildings must have belonged to the top of the building at that time, so they could still protrude from the water, because you can't see the underwater part, you don't know what the shape of the whole is, but if you look at the top, they all look like some simple towers. There are a lot of them, high and low, different sizes, and they look like the kind of Tallinn where monks are buried.

Along the way, I basically didn't see the remains of the Queen Mother of the West, and now I finally saw it, but I was relieved, before I also had a conjecture that a few of us don't go wrong, after all, there is no sign at the mouth of the canyon that says "The Queen Mother City of the West is 2 kilometers inside, and the mobile signal has been covered." "After a while, I went in and found that there was nothing in it, and the joke was too big.

We didn't have time to stop and look at these ruins, and we quickly went deep into them, but although subjectively we didn't want to study them, the route was winding, and there was always a time to go around these ruins, and I found that although these ruins had gone through thousands of years, they were extremely solid and very solid, and what was strange was that all these "towers" had many square holes, which were obviously polished during the construction at that time.

Fang Kong said that it is not big, it is not small, and it is not possible for people to pass it, but things that are smaller than people are not a problem.

The fat man looked strange, and when he passed by, he subconsciously looked inside with a miner's lamp, but he couldn't see anything, only the sound of water below. I don't know where it leads.

Pan Zi didn't have time to pay attention to these, so he urged him to go quickly, and the fat man knew that he was in a hurry, so he had to take a hasty look and follow.

The absolute area of this valley is not large, the further you go in, the silt under the water is significantly reduced, and the remains of various monuments under the water are exposed, very clear, forming a very strange but spectacular scene, the depth of the water is only about two or three meters, and the countless remnants of the broken stone and the flourishing tree roots under the water are mixed together, making me feel that there is only a thin layer of water, as if it is a world apart.

It was only at this time that I had the feeling of entering an ancient city, looking at these remnants, I could vaguely imagine what it was like to flourish here, but time has passed, and even the city of the goddess has finally returned to dust.

Suddenly, the speed of the water under my feet changed, and there seemed to be a steep downward slope ahead. Let's be careful, there are too many trees here, and slipping and stepping on the air is a serious injury.

After walking a few more steps around a big tree, the fat man exclaimed, and we saw a huge strange face suddenly appear in the dense forest in front of us, less than ten meters away from us, the size of a truck, with green spots on the face, big eyes and high nose, exactly the same as the grotto of the human-faced strange bird we saw at the mouth of the canyon. It was a huge stone sculpture encased in moss and vines.

The fat man turned on the miner's lamp and shè past, and the body part of the stone sculpture sank into the swamp, leaving only the head, which merged with the dense forest, and the bird's body in the water presented a very strange squatting posture, as if it was about to suddenly spread its wings and rise up, like the momentum before the feline attack. You can also see some strangely shaped black shadows under the water below the stone carvings, and I don't know what has sunk.

We looked at each other and remembered our previous thoughts, if the human-faced bird statue outside the canyon was to tell outsiders that they had entered the territory of the Western Queen Mother's Country, then what did the huge human-faced bird stone sculpture appear here? Could it be that this is a more serious jǐng lawsuit.

I subconsciously looked at the sea of trees behind the statue, and thought to myself, could there be some great danger waiting for us uninvited guests in the area behind the stone sculpture.
