Is it really as Maniac Six speculated? Is there really a pair of eyes in the dark, quietly watching our every move? Or is it because of a coincidence?

But what I don't understand is, why do the arrows on this trap use "bone arrows" made of bones? Why not use metal arrows? Because metal arrows are more lethal, wouldn't it be more effective to hit the "monkey eagle" harder?

This point not only puzzled me, but everyone was the same, and in the end, it was Old Man Ouyang who solved our confusion. Old man Ouyang explained that because the "Monkey Eagle" not only has a high intelligence, but also has an extremely amazing sense of smell, the old man Ouyang had said that he had only been to the "Monkey Eagle" lair once that time, and was smelled by the "Monkey Eagle".

If you use metal arrows, whether it is iron, copper, or other metals, it will emit a variety of metal odors, "monkey eagle" is very sensitive to all kinds of metal odors, because almost all animal traps in the mountains and forests are made of metal, with the intelligence of "monkey eagle", as long as you smell this metal smell, you will be particularly vigilant, so that it is difficult to fall into the trap again.

The "Monkey Eagle" has never been caught with a beast weapon, and it is for this reason.

Not only can metal traps not catch it, but all kinds of bird nets are also ineffective against the "monkey eagle", because the plastic smell emitted by the plastic bird net will also make the "monkey eagle" immediately alert.

Isn't that a plastic bird net?

Other types of bird nets, whether silk thread, twine, or even cotton thread, will emit corresponding smells, and for this kind of smell, "monkey eagles" can also be distinguished, so "monkey eagles" have super survivability, and ordinary hunters do not want to catch them.

What's even more amazing is that it can remember the smell of all kinds of hard wood in this mountain, because the hard wood can also be used to make all kinds of animal traps and lethal bows and arrows.

In short, a qiē has a lethal force and a qiē material that poses a threat to its survival, and the "monkey eagle" can distinguish their scent at all.

But the "monkey eagle" is very insensitive to one smell - that is, the smell of white bones, no matter what kind of white bones.

It is for this reason that it is being shot today by such "bone arrows".

Not only is the arrow that hit the "monkey eagle" made of white bone, but even all the other parts of the trap are also made of white bone.

What shocked the old man Ouyang was that he had only discovered this characteristic of the "Monkey Eagle" after living with the "Monkey Eagle" for more than ten years, how could anyone else know this secret?

After listening to the old man's words, I felt as if there was something wrong, and what the old man said was a little inconsistent with the reality we are encountering now.

Before I could speak, Hongmei, who had been silent next to her, also heard the "flaw", so she asked the old man directly: "What you said, old man, doesn't seem to be true, you also saw it just now, isn't that the one who bolted the amphibian cub just now?" If it is as you say, then the "monkey eagle" should be able to smell it, and if it smells, it will be able to find the wire, and find the trap through the wire, and it will not be fooled, with its intelligence, it is not difficult for it.

But the opposite happened, it didn't find the wire or the trap at all.

In addition, although the other parts of the trap are made of white bone, the bowstring is certainly not made of white bone, but of wire or other silk threads, and if it is really as you say, then the monkey eagle should smell it too. ”

After Hongmei asked this, I couldn't help but secretly admire her thoughtfulness, I only thought of the wire tied to the amphibian cubs, and I really didn't think of the bowstring.

I thought that such a question would definitely stop the old man, but what I didn't expect was that after listening to Hongmei's question, the old man smiled slightly, was not in a hurry, and replied calmly: "You take a closer look at the wire that ties the amphibian cubs, is it really a wire?" ”

When he said this, we were a little confused, we just looked, from the texture and color, it is obviously wire, absolutely right.

The old man didn't say anything more, but walked over, picked up the "wire" on the ground, he took out a knife from his waist, and then used the knife to cut off the "wire", when I saw the cross-section of the "wire", I was surprised to find that this wire is very similar to the wire, in fact, it is not a wire at all, but is made of a thinner wire, I tried to pull it with my hand, I felt very tough.

Old man Ouyang then went on to explain that this kind of thing that is very similar to iron wire is actually a kind of "bone".

In this mountain, there is a very peculiar insect, this insect neither eats grass, nor eats other insects, but exclusively feeds on iron ore, experienced prospectors, through guò this insect can find iron ore, so some people call this insect "iron worm", when exploring iron ore, "iron worm" is a very important reference.

The insect is very thin, not much thicker than an earthworm, but it is more than two meters long, and its body is so tough that two adults may not be able to tear it apart without cutting it with a knife.

Why is this "wire worm" so tough? Because inside their body, there is a cartilage that runs through the body.

This kind of cartilage is extremely strong, except for being afraid of knife cuts, water and fire are not afraid.

We have a special dish in this area, called 'hanging pheasant', that is, after filling the pheasant with special seasoning, using the cartilage of this 'wire worm', hanging it up and putting it into the oven for barbecue, this dish tastes extremely delicious, in addition to the seasoning, the cartilage of the "wire worm" of the pheasant is also essential, because if you change to other wires to hang, even if you use the same seasoning, the taste is far from good.

You see, not only the amphibian cubs use this cartilage, but even the bowstring of the bow on the trap is also used with this cartilage, so the 'monkey eagle' can't smell it. ”

Old man Ouyang's words made us suddenly realize, and made us even more uneasy, we vaguely felt that this opponent hiding in the shadows was really powerful. Could it be that the tall blind man is not dead? Otherwise, who else could have such unfathomable resourcefulness?

Before we knew it, the sun had set in the west, and we realized that it was time to think about where to spend the night, we had walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, everyone was tired, although we brought tents, but if there was a small hotel nearby, we still didn't want to stay in a tent.

Coincidentally, according to the old man, there was a hotel three or four miles away, and the scale was not too small, it was a three-story villa-type hotel, with at least a few hundred rooms.

This surprised us a little, we didn't expect that there would be such a large hotel in the mountains outside the county seat.

Old man Ouyang explained that this is because there is a very beautiful waterfall there, and there is a primeval forest of thousands of acres, that forest is just on a small plain, surrounded by mountains, the scenery is beautiful, there are many strange flowers and plants, because of these two scenic spots, it was gradually developed into a tourist spot, and the hotel is a supporting facility of the tourist spot, and there are dozens of special restaurants and supermarkets around.

Listening to the old man Ouyang, we felt a little puzzled, since three or four miles away, there is a large tourist attraction and hotel, it is said that there should be a lot of people here, even if we don't see people now, then we should see some garbage bags, cans, or mineral water bottles and the like, but these traces are not visible at all.

We have lived in the mountains since we were children, and we can see from many clues in which places are inaccessible and where there are more people. The environment here is hardly any trace of people.

After Old Man Ouyang's further explanation, we realized that although this place is only a few miles away from that scenic spot, the road leading from here to that scenic spot is only a choke point on a cliff. And this choke point has not been developed, it is still in its original state, there are no railings, and there are no ropeways, which is extremely dangerous.

At the narrowest point of this choke point, a person can only pass guò by leaning sideways, against the cliff wall, and under his feet is the abyss, and if he falls, he will fall to pieces.

In the past few years, people often fell from there and died, so the competent authorities blocked the road and erected relevant warning signs, so the people in the scenic area, although they are very close to here, can never get here.

Not only did they seal the road, but they also sealed a cave near the cliff.

Because the cave seemed to lead here, but once inside, there were thousands of forks in it, and no one knew where these forks led, and many people who went in never came out, so the authorities had to seal the cave with barbed wire.

Such a cave is no stranger to us, we have been in contact with it for a long time, and the cave next to it that flows "blood" also has this characteristic.

But what we are more interested in is, why are there so many of these labyrinthine caves? Hasn't a geology expert studied it?

Old man Ouyang's words made us feel very discouraged, although the hotel was only three or four miles away, but listening to him say this, there was no way to go from here, isn't this in vain?

Old man Ouyang looked at our deflated appearance, and couldn't help but smile slyly and said: "From here directly to the hotel, although it is impossible for ordinary people, but it is nothing to me, I can go directly from that cave."

I often go to the supermarket there to buy groceries, at least once a week, so although I live in the mountains, I am not short of daily necessities. ”

Needless to say, the old man had already guessed that he must have been led by the "Monkey Eagle" to pass through the cave and directly reach the scenic area on the other side of the cliff.

"Now that you're injured, can you still lead the way?" Maniac Six asked jokingly.

Old man Ouyang nodded confidently: "No problem, usually when it helps me lead the way in that cave, I also hold it, every time it reaches a fork, it first points with its wings, if it goes right, it doesn't react, but once it goes wrong, it will shake its head and scream."

We were all at once excited, because we vaguely felt that the more we learned about this labyrinthine cave, the more likely we were to make unexpected discoveries, which might be very beneficial to our future actions. I didn't expect to have such a rare opportunity to enter this labyrinthine cave again.

Sure enough, just as we imagined, in this cave, we discovered a shocking secret.
