Chapter 112: Crescent Crescent Bend
Feng Xin pursed her lips, turned the flashlight to the brightest and shone it in. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought that the light could see the environment inside, but I didn't want the cave to be dark and secluded, and the astigmatism would not have much of a bonus effect. Only faintly discerning that there was indeed a moat-like groove at the front end of the front door.
We all blocked in front of the entrance of the cave, and looked inside, the cave opened at the bottom of a long line of mountains, and many thick roots broke through the barrier of the ground and firmly rooted the rhizomes into the ground, and hung in the hole tangled into one after another, like upside-down braids.
There has been no light here for many years, and the roots of the trees that are relatively close to us have been irradiated by the light source of the flashlight, and the unknown insects that were originally attached to them were frightened and scattered, and quickly fled along the roots to the top of the formation.
After observing for a while, I calculated in my mind that the wall made of wooden strips was about three meters high, and according to common sense, the width of this moat was at most three meters, and it couldn't be hooked no matter how far it was, but it was just ...... It has not been set foot here for a long time, and it is difficult to say what this space was like hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Feng Xin bent down, picked up a broken wooden strip and rubbed it on his fingertips, quietly looked at the deep black groove and said, "It seems that this channel was indeed full of water before, and the height of this wooden strip wall was cleverly set within a certain range, although the reeds and wooden strips were soft, they floated on the water surface but had a certain elasticity, the feet were fast, the strength was appropriate, and it was not difficult to walk over. But the wood is almost rotten, and even if there is water now, it may not be able to withstand the weight."
Ziche frowned, leaned out half of his body and hung in the doorway, shining the flashlight in all directions, and the entire channel ditch was still pitch black, as if it was bottomless.
He took out a piece of gunpowder and a lighter, bit the fuse with his canine teeth, lit it, and threw it tentatively into the hole.
Swish! Bang! The gunpowder with the truncated fuse detonated in the air, and in an instant the fire lit up the entire cavern, and countless tangled roots interspersed in front of us like stalactites.
There was a click, and I saw some scattered fires smashing into the darkness not far away with the shell of gunpowder. This also confirms that the distance to the other side of the river is the same as expected.
In response to the lighting of the firelight, I just wanted to see it clearly, at this time, a pair of fierce eyes suddenly appeared in the depths of the opposite bank with the flamelight that was extinguished instantly, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Although it was less than a second, the gaze was so fierce that everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of the picture, and instinctively took several steps back.
Especially the sub-car, he retreated very fast and stepped on me a few times.
...... We froze for a few seconds, and there was no movement on the other side of the river.
"You...... Do you see?" Qian Yu asked in a daze.
"Nonsense, you have eyes?" I exhaled a few hard breaths and replied with a heartbeat in my left chest.
"So, what do you say we saw?"
"This ......"
In fact, the picture was only for a moment, and it was difficult to judge what I was seeing. But judging by the violent reaction of the sub-car, it is certain that there is a creature on the other side, and I will look away, but he will not.
I turned my head to look at Feng Xin, wanting to say that he was well-informed, maybe he had seen something at that glance just now, "Did you see what the hell was that?"
Feng Xin's expression stiffened and he looked at Ziche for a long time, staring at the dark ahead with his eyes puzzled, and snorted, "That thing, I don't know what it is...... I guess it's out of breath, maybe it's because we brought the Stealth Grass so it didn't see us." He carefully examined the roots of the trees in the cave and said, "Let's not talk about this for a while, our door has been open for so long, and if there is something different, we can't stand until now, I plan to climb these roots, can you?"
Feng Xin turned his head and asked me.
I looked at the thick, tangled roots, looked at the width of the gaps, and nodded.
He answered me, then bit the flashlight and kicked it, and with a light jump, the whole person climbed on the root of the tree, like a flying squirrel, jumping from one root to another. In less than three seconds he descended neatly to the other side, and as he turned and looked around the cave, he gestured to us.
The sub-cart and the gentleman also climbed to the opposite shore in order and beckoned to me.
"Xiao Ran, this is not very far, just catch it in order."
He glanced down at the dark trench, retreated to the door, ran for a short while, and then jumped up and threw himself forward, but the result was not bad. Although the ankle injury started to throb again due to the exertion, and finally landed on the ground, I was able to pass the first time I challenged this competition.
I got up, patted some of the mold and strange bugs that had fallen on me, and followed the others to point the light source into the depths of the cavern, but I froze at a glance.
A behemoth sat on the stone step at the bottom of the cave, and when it looked closely, it was actually a dead body that looked like a man and a beast. It doesn't seem so apt to describe it as a seat, and the corpse is partially submerged into the ground as if it were rooted. Although this corpse looked like it was mostly decomposed, white bones appeared in some places with thin flesh, and there was no fishy smell of carrion.
The corpse was one size larger than an ordinary person, with a face with towering cheekbones like Nuwa's, and a skin glowing with bronze. I swallowed my saliva and found that the cheekbones of the ancients seemed to be quite high, not only Nuwa but also her brother looked like this, but the corpse in front of me did not have a mouthful of fangs.
And the most surprising thing is a pair of horns with a crescent moon.
Two sharp blades pressed against the corpse's temples.
A few more of us probed back and forth on the side, and after making sure that the creature in front of us was really not a threat, we boldly walked forward.
I saw that its eyes were slightly closed, and its eyes seemed to be just looking down, and its eyelids were tattooed with the same tattoos as Hou Yi, but the totem was different, and when it flashed its eyes, it would think that it was staring at the front when it opened its eyes.
"I guess he was still alive when the last group came, right? The figure in the kettle is him." Qian Yu muttered to himself.
Since there was no unpleasant smell coming from the corpse, we all leaned close to the corpse, like a glass of glass looking at a mummy.
Ziche said, "This ...... Will it be Shennong? This benevolent brother?"
The corpse, which has not yet been completely corrupted, naturally droops in both hands, holding a lotus flower in one hand, and a narcissus in the other. The two flowers bloomed vividly, as if the passage of time and space had never happened to the flowers.
"Look at its body, its ribs are transparent, I think it should be Shennong." Feng Xin said.
After listening to Feng Xinyi's words, I looked down at the corpse's abdomen, and the trace of skin and flesh left on it was also transparent, as clear as crystal, and I asked puzzledly, "Why is it transparent to conclude that it is Shennong?"
"According to the records, Shennong's body is transparent, so that we can observe whether the herbs eaten in the stomach are suitable for consumption." Feng Xinhui.
"Damn, isn't that the same as exposing all the internal organs? It's kind of scary." I intuitively thought of the model man in biology class, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck.
At this time, as if discovering a new world, Qian Yu shouted to us, "Look, the flower in its hand seems to be drilling into its body."
Ziche happened to be squatting down and was curious to take a closer look, but suddenly his face changed suddenly, and he instantly bounced back and said, "Don't get closer, that flower smells of corpses."
