Chapter 272: Baboon

"Su Zheng, why are there so many sinkholes here? Do you know the formation of sinkholes? Song Rong asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Occasionally, gravel falls from the roof of the cave, and the falling stones are decomposed and carried away by the stream, and the gravel on the roof of the cave keeps falling and is constantly being carried away by decomposition. Because of this, the sinkhole was formed. Therefore, the sinkhole did not become like that all at once, but was forged over many years. As for why there are so many sinkholes here, I don't know. I said to Song Rong.

"That's what you humans say, but that's exactly how the terrain is. It's just that at first, it was the power god who squeezed the land, so there was such a cave in the mountain, so there was the later sinkhole topography. Feng Xue said in a flat voice, observing the surrounding environment.

As a few people chatted, there was a crisp sound in their ears, like a struck control instrument, which was very pleasant.

"Where did the voice come from?" Su Zheng looked around vigilantly to prevent something from suddenly attacking.

I hurriedly said to Song Rong: "Don't be nervous, it's the sound of stalactites, not some monster."

"Stalactites?" Song Rong looked at me puzzled, as if asking me if I was joking.

"I'm not kidding, let's go a little further and there's a cave." I said to Song Rong that the three of us had come to the cave.

I pointed to the stalactites not far away and said, "The stalactites in the cave contain calcium carbonate, which have been accumulated over many years into stone columns. Before they became stone pillars, the stalactites on the roof of the cave dripped and struck on the piles, making a pleasant sound by colliding. ”

"It's like a concert." Feng Xue sighed, looking at the stalactites that made a sound because of being knocked on them.

After this little episode, we continued to walk upstream along the stream.

After about half an hour, we came to a wider place. There were no vegetation around the place, and the empty area was decorated with no natural objects, just uneven gravel floors and a stream that straddled it.

The ball of light became a little faint, obviously affected by the force, but it was this situation that showed that we were on the right path.

The reason why we judge this way is because the place we are going to is the central part occupied by the huge Shore Flower, which seems to be ordinary, but it has the effect of affecting the amount of spiritual energy. In other words, it can affect the normal function of some things forged by spiritual power, so seeing that the ball of light forged with spiritual power is getting weaker and weaker, I am sure that our path is right.

In fact, I had only explored this cave with the technique of prying before, and I had not personally walked through it, so I could only rely on my memories to move forward. In addition, there is more than one road around here, and there are several naturally formed caves, so I was a little worried at first, but now it is much better to know that the direction is not wrong.

It's just that we had an easy journey along the way, and I can't help but think a little too much. As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly realized that I was not thinking too much, but thinking less.

The reason why I said that I didn't think much about it was because not far from us, a huge monster appeared crawling. The monster had a hairy body and a muscular body, somewhat resembling a baboon's body. He was tall and blocked our way, and it was impossible to get around it.

It was clearly resting, its eyes tightly closed, its body up and down with its breathing. And it slept so dead that it didn't even react when the stream passed under its belly.

You know, before we came here, the temperature outside the cave was close to zero degrees Celsius. At this time, the cool breeze in the cave was blowing, and the cold mist was wafting, and as far as I felt, it had reached at least below zero. If it weren't for the fact that it was still "moving" regularly, I would have almost thought that the monster had been frozen into a specimen.

"What now?" Song Rong asked, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of white mist gathered in front of him, which showed how cold it was here.

"It looks like it's hibernating, and if we wake it up rashly, the consequences can be imagined." I said, thinking for a moment, and looking at the structure of the cave.

The monster was crawling right at the entrance of the cave at this point, and it was so large that it blocked the entrance to the passage. If we forcibly move that thing away, it will inevitably lead to a head-on conflict. If we want to get around...... I'm afraid it won't work.

I was grieving, when the monster suddenly rolled over, and the gap it had blocked was suddenly exposed in front of us, with its back to us, facing the mouth of the cave. This is really overjoying, I glanced at Feng Xue and Song Rong, and pointed to the gap in surprise, which is just enough to accommodate two adults to pass through.

Seeing this, we no longer hesitated, and hurriedly walked carefully towards the gap.

He gently stepped on the gravel on his toes, trying not to make any noise, and looked at the monster carefully, fearing that it would wake up at any time, and look more like a thief than a thief.

Fortunately, after we passed through without any problems, the monster did not have any tendency to wake up. His eyes were closed, and his face, the only bare skin on his body, drooped with folded skin. The inky hair floats with the undulations of the skin, and the cold wind does not bring it up, and it looks stiff against the epidermis, perhaps this is also one of the animal's thermal insulation measures. I don't have to think about it, and I keep walking.

Near the corner, I looked back at the monster again, and suddenly found that on the monster's face, two black jewel-like eyes were staring at me for a moment, and my heart trembled with fright, and my face stiffened violently.

I hurriedly quickened my pace to escape from the sight, and when I was sure that I was out of the projection range of the sight, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and my face returned to blood, washing away Fang Cai's stiffness.

Touching the skin on her face, Feng Xue's concerned voice came from her ear, she said, "It's okay, you don't look well, is there any influence?"

I glanced at Feng Xue and said with a gentle expression: "I'm fine, but I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, and now it's fine."

When Feng Xue heard this, she saw that the expression on my face had returned to normal, so she continued to move forward with confidence. I was also a little relieved, because when I looked back, if that monster was trying to hurt us, it wouldn't have let us walk by without doing anything. So, even if it was awake at the time, it must have no murderous intent towards us. I thought so.
