"Good!" We nodded in agreement and trotted all the way deeper into the cave.

Along the way, we pay more attention to our surroundings and hope to find some clues. But I've been out for a long time, and I still haven't found anything.

I was suddenly very scared, afraid that something would happen to Anado, and I was afraid of how to explain to her father when she went out.

As we progressed, the speed of the water began to slow down, and the space ahead slowly increased, and some of the shallows of the river reappeared.

So that our location becomes a fork in the road, where we are faced with a choice. Whether to continue along the channel platform or down into the shallows of the channel.

Lantern Xiao's opinion was to continue to move along the hewn passage platform, after all, there must have been a reason for this construction in the first place. And I think the shallows were exposed because of this rare drop in water levels. What emerges in the river may be more valuable.

Lantern Xiao looked at Wen Mo, "Boss, do you go up or down?" ”

Wen Mo didn't speak, but his eyes kept staring at the river below.

Lantern Xiao nodded, "It seems that the boss thinks the same as you, so let's do it," Lantern Xiao came up with an idea, "Let's divide the soldiers into two ways, anyway, we are not sure which way Andor Anador took now, and it is safer for the soldiers to be divided into two ways." ”

I think Lantern Xiao's proposal is a bit risky, "No, no, no, we don't know anything about here, it's too dangerous to act alone." ”

Lantern Xiao really didn't care, "It's okay, I'm walking on it, this is a normal passage, there won't be any major problems, but you should be careful when you find another way." Even if I was in danger, I could just jump down and find you. If you are in danger, it will be difficult for you to come up. ”

"But," I still wanted to say something, but Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "Okay, don't rub it off, it's important to find someone first!" ”

"Good!" I just nodded. Then the three of us split into two parts, Wenmo and I went down to the shallows and searched along the river, while Lantern Xiao followed the original passage platform.

In the shallow waters of the river, most of the mud has been carried away, and many rocks have been exposed. It's still very wet, and you get slippery from time to time when you walk on it. There will also be some huge rocks in the shallows, which I don't know if they collapsed from the mountain or were carried by the current.

I looked up, walking in the Lantern Festival in the passage above, about four or five meters away from us, looking at the position of his flashlight, it should be directly above us.

We walked some further distance and came up with a large rock in front of us, about the size of a van. Suddenly, we saw something above the rock, and when we looked closer, we found that it was Anado's hook knife, which was being stuck in a crevice in the rock.

There was a lot of moss on the rocks, and it was slippery to the touch, so I had a lot of effort to climb up. I crouched down and pulled out the hook knife, and turned my head to look at Wen Mo, only to find that he was still staring at the river in a daze.

I opened my mouth and shouted, "Boss! Come and see this! ”

Wen Mo turned his head to look, and then jumped up with a leap, I don't know how many times lighter than I just now.

He looked at the hook knife in my hand, "Where is it inserted?" ”

I pointed to a gap near the side and said, "Here it is!" ”

Wen Mo squatted down and looked carefully at the position I was pointing at.

At this time, Lantern Xiao poked his head out from above, "Hey! Zhuoran, what are you doing? Did you make a discovery? ”

I shook the hook knife in my hand at him, "Found Anado's hook!" ”

Lantern Xiao was a little surprised and said, "Oh? So Anador walked from below? ”

I nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

Lantern Xiao stood up and looked forward, "Then let's go on, I'm here to look into the distance, and I can also be a lookout post for you!" ”

I scoffed, "What are you doing with this lookout?" You're so high, and it's so dark here, you can see me, you can see it! ”

"Not necessarily," Lantern continued, "after all, I'm here...... Run fast!! Halfway through the words, Lantern Xiao suddenly shouted!

I was frightened, but before I could react, Wenmo grabbed the clothes from my shoulders and jumped off the boulder.

I was pulled and stumbled, fell to the ground, and the moment I hit the ground, I felt something graze my back.

I quickly went back to look for it, but I didn't see anything. I looked up and asked, "What is it?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't see it clearly, I saw something crawling up on the other side of the boulder." Maybe it's the leech just now. ”

I asked Wen Mo again, but Wen Mo just shook his head.

"It seems that the situation here is more complicated! Let's speed up, or Anador will be dangerous! I said.

The three of us continued in two ways, this time we were on our toes to be vigilant in case what we had just done hit us again.

After another walk, although we did not encounter any more attacks, we noticed a lot of strange things appearing in the shallows under our feet. There were broken clay pots, and there were still some things that looked like metal, but they were already rusty.

The strangest thing is that there are bones here, a lot of bones, there are cow bones, sheep bones, and so many animal bones that I can't see.

I said to Wenmo strangely, "How can there be so many bones here, could it be that they were washed down from the upstream and deposited here?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "It's not like that, even if it was brought by the river, there are too many bones, I think someone should have deliberately thrown them here!" ”

"Throw it here?" I was a little confused, "Why throw it here?" ”

Wen Mo thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's a sacrificial activity or other reasons, it's hard to say now." ”

Lantern Xiao watched the movements of the two of us very anxious above, "Hey! Did you find anything again? ”

I said to Lantern Xiao, "It's nothing important, just some bones and other fragments." ”

"Fragments?" As soon as Lantern Xiao heard what I said, she repeated it in a low voice, and I immediately knew what this kid was thinking.

Sure enough, Lantern Xiao said to me: "Zhuo Ran, see if there are any antiques or artifacts below, get two of them!" ”

"it!" I said angrily, "It's all debris down here!" ”

"You're looking for it." The Lantern Festival is still on it endlessly.

I yelled at him, "Can you be quiet, you, there's something harmful in this hole, all of them have been brought by you!" ”

Lantern Xiao had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but it could be seen that he was still very anxious, holding a flashlight and dangling it from place to us.

As I stood here and looked forward, I seemed to see that the shallows were so large that I couldn't find the edge of it with my flashlight. I said to Wenmo, "How can there be such a big shoal here? ”

Wen Mo looked at the river next to him again, and then said, "The river has turned in front. ”

As soon as I said this, I noticed that the sound of the water could indeed be heard, which was much quieter than the rumbling of the rushing river just now, and in addition to the fact that the speed of the river was relatively low here, I also seemed to feel that the sound of the water seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

I said to Wenmo, "You mean, there's actually a big bend in the river here, so the sediment has formed this big shoal. ”

Wen Mo nodded, then pointed in a direction in the dark, "The river turn should be in that position!" ”

I walked a little further, and sure enough, I saw the river flow around the shallows and into the depths of the mountain. A cave appeared again in the interior of the mountain, and the river rushed in, disappearing into the endless darkness.

It would have been difficult for us to trace the course of the river this time, for there was no place to settle in the cave where the river flowed, and it would be impossible to enter unless we had a boat or a fish-like swimming ability.

But then again, looking at the hole in the inside of this mountain, it was as dark as if it had reached the end of the world, and I really didn't dare to go in and find out.

I stared at the black hole for a while, and the more I looked at it, the more scared I became, and finally I had a chilling feeling. I quickly withdrew my gaze, and I turned my head to look at Wen Mo, and found that he was also looking into the depths of the river.

I couldn't help but ask, "Wenmo, where do you say this river leads?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "Who knows? Maybe it's a gateway to another world at all! ”

I was taken aback when I heard Wen Mo's words, and I looked at his expression, but I didn't see the meaning of joking. Although I intellectually thought that this sentence was actually a bit ridiculous, I don't know why my heart trembled.

Wen Mo didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to walk along the shallows. I hurried to follow Wenmo.

The two of us walked on the shallows one after the other, and gradually I noticed that there were more and more things under my feet, metal, jade, and of course, most of them were bones, but this time, there were human bones.

A large number of bones were scattered on the shallows, so many that the scalp tingled for a while. In the bright white light of the flashlight, I couldn't even tell where the shallow rocks were, where there were all kinds of bones, and I didn't even know how to settle down.

I hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Wen Mo in front of me, and asked again, "Boss, what do you say are these bones?" ”

Wen Mo's face became a little solemn, "I originally thought that this was the place where the ancient ancestors held their sacrificial ceremonies here, but now it seems that it shouldn't be, otherwise there shouldn't be so many bones." ”

"And what is this place?" I hurriedly asked.

Wen Mo said word by word: "This should be the altar of offerings!" ”
