Faced with the cool water, this South American tapir chose to plunge directly into the small river, preferring to risk being drowned before drinking first! After Fang Senyan achieved his goal, he directly let it escape, and he began to walk to the side of the river and check it carefully.
The flow of the river is not large, but it is not small, and it flows in the direction of the Dubai Marsh, which means that at least when you get there, you can use water to pass. Most of the wild animals in this small river can drink directly, which means that after simple treatment such as boiling, even foreign Jintong people can drink this fresh water directly.
What's more, after Fang Senyan traced a short distance along the river, he saw a rock mountain that is not very common here at a distance of three kilometers from the Dubai Marsh, which is probably similar to the size of the artificial mountain made in the park.
Soon, Fang Senyan found a large cave in a col of Rock Mountain, which was easy to find, and a forest worm made this place its home. Fang Senyan quickly let this guy, who was more than eight meters long, move out of his home in a gray manner.
As we all know, snakes are not sporty creatures, in addition to their thunderous speed when hunting, even when they escape, they have an amazing lazy elegance, as long as they are full, snakes can even stay in the nest for months without moving! So usually, the damage to the original environment in the snake nest is minimal, which is not like pigs, bears, and other creatures, which only need two or three days after living in a certain place, and there can only be described as a circle.
Fang Senyan walked into the cave, and the first thing he saw was a large number of snakes of astonishing size, and it seemed that the extremely moldy forest snake had been living here for quite a long time. It's just that Fang Senyan's eyes immediately saw the walls of the cave, where there were clear traces of smoke. Yes, although Bernard Falk has been away from this place for hundreds of years, Lord Fawk Jr. was in his forties when he died, and when he found out that the family mansion was about to collapse, he would have found it here according to the logbook of the main line, and it would be a time span of ten or twenty years at most.
In this case, even though the traces left by Bernard Falk hundreds of years ago have long been blown away by the rain and wind, in the special environment in this cave, the traces left by Lord Little Falk back then can give Fang Senyan a considerable degree of help! Even the helper who seemed to be in Mbenga wanted to be puzzled was rejected by Fang Senyan. Because Fang Senyan was afraid that the carelessness of Mbenga, a man with five big and three rough rules, would destroy the possible clues.
In the depths of this cave, Fang Senyan quickly excavated a lot of valuable things...... Two wooden planks with obvious Foker family insignia, two corpses, several bundles of rotten ropes, half of a candle made of mermaid oil, on the walls of the cave, you can see very clear long and short scratch marks, and finally Fang Senyan found a few pieces of linen clothes that emitted a musty smell.
To be honest, Fang Senyan also spent a lot of energy finding these things, and it was not easy to identify them. It took Fang Senyan a full four or five hours, but after finding these things, Fang Senyan suddenly burst out laughing so loudly that tears flowed out of his eyes.
Because Fang Senyan has found what he wants!!
Yes, he was already aware that Bernard Falk, with the ability and identity of a Jintong person, could enter the deepest secret of the Dubai Swamp.
It's from the inside of these rags.
It's from the inside of these inconspicuous rags!!
The planks can prove that what Fang Senyan found was indeed the camp where Lord Falk Jr. had arrived in this world.
Although Westerners do not have the custom of Easterners to be buried in the earth, it is still not allowed to desecrate the dead, and the corpses of their companions are often collected instead of being scattered everywhere, and the two corpses that appeared in the cave undoubtedly show that Lord Fokker Jr. should not have fled calmly, but in such a hurry that even his corpses were abandoned, and there was no way to bring them back to his hometown. …,
As for the length of the rope carried, it was connected at least more than fifty meters, and Fang Senyan could vaguely recognize that it was a very reliable lifeline, which was the same as a modern safety rope, and the ship had to go to the deck when it encountered a storm and was extremely bumpy, so it had to be tied to avoid being washed into the sea.
This also means that little Falk knows that he will go to a very dangerous place with very dangerous terrain. The place had to be connected by ropes, up and down. So everyone had to bring a lifeline, and the remaining two bundles of lifelines were most likely those of the two dead ghosts.
As for the candles made of mermaid oil, of course, they are used for lighting, the first is that they burn for a long time, and the second is that they are not easy to extinguish when burned. It's the equivalent of our current wolf's tooth flashlight.
The last few pieces of moldy and rotten clothes, but they look quite thick, at first glance, they are protected from the cold, and everyone must have them, and those who are abandoned here are specially prepared for these two dead ghosts...... Hell, it's a tropical jungle with an average annual temperature of over 28 degrees! It's known for being humid and muggy. Little Lord Fokker wore this warm cotton coat, or one for everyone, and the meaning behind it can be imagined.
The scratches on the walls show different lengths, but they are very concerning, with an average of thirty short ones and one long one. This is naturally reminiscent of calculating time, if a short mark represents a day, then a long notch represents a month! This makes even more sense. According to the inscriptions, the exact time these people stayed here was five months and sixteen days.
So, combine these key hidden elements together, and escape in a hurry + lifeline + wolf tooth flashlight + warm clothing, the general environment is a tropical rainforest. Then in the combination of these keywords, it is clear that the place where Little Lord Falk is going is very simple, and there is no doubt that it is a dark, complex terrain, cold, dangerous place, and this place is found in the middle of the rainforest......
Therefore, the only explanation is that it is an underground cavern!
This is also in line with Fang Senyan's previous judgment on entering the sub-core area of Dubai, it is impossible to force his way in, and the only two possible ways are either air or underground. If the Dubai Arians can use a dry underground river as the main body of the passage to the outside world, why can't there be another secret passage?
Of course, there are many mysteries here, such as why the local indigenous Dubaians did not notice and blocked the passage, and why Bernard Falk was able to get away with it after doing something bad, so as to ensure that his children and grandchildren could safely use the passage to repeat it hundreds of years later. The secret of this can only be known after digging deep into the secrets.
"Good, it turns out that my inference was correct." Fang Senyan walked out of the gloomy cave, and then took a deep breath of the air outside.
"Then the next step is to find the channel that theoretically exists. That's right, five months and sixteen days! If it is understandable that Bernard Faulk, a guy who has just landed on the African continent, has stayed here for five months and sixteen days, then why does little Lord Faulk, who is like playing a game according to the ancestral diary, stay here for so long? Could this be the truth of the matter...... They're waiting! Yes, they must be waiting for a certain time period! Only during this time period will that damn secret passage really be revealed! ”
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan immediately grabbed the drunken Mbenga:
"Hey, big black guy! Is there anything special going on in your hometown during the year? Or is there any bizarre legend that will happen for a long time? ”
Immediately after Mbenga was gone, he shouted happily and loudly:
"It is said that if you kill ten male lions in a row and eat it, you can make yourself more powerful than the male lion!"
Fang Senyan:
"What else?"
Mbenga shrugged his shoulders and said:
"If you can get the stamens of the rafflesia that bloom only once every ten years, you can win the heart of the blackest girl in the village."
"Big brother, can we not mention things related to women?" Fang Senyan really had some words that he couldn't laugh or cry about.
Then Mbenga told a few more legends, but Fang Senyan didn't ask him about the things directly about the Dubai Marsh, because if he asked more, Mbenga would have a splitting headache and moan loudly, which is called "obsessive amnesia" in the real world, which is the human body selectively forgetting those too terrifying fragments in order to protect itself, which is extremely harmful to patients. To treat this disease, he can only take him around, and as long as he is there, he will slowly recall some relevant memory fragments.
This is the reason why Mbenga was able to find those hidden wealth, and it is also a reasonable explanation that he has repeatedly made the most correct reaction judgment at critical moments, such as when his life is threatened, so Fang Senyan said that he would take Mbenga with him, because once he encounters danger, the experience he gained before is likely to become a ray of life.
