Chapter 634: Witch Gu Tribe
After turning a corner, the six people in the wild felt that the environment here was obviously different. The moment he turned the corner, the rumbling sound of the water became louder, and the water vapor rushed to his face, and it was obvious that the waterfall that made the sound and water vapor should be in front of him.
After turning, Chen Ziyang saw that the cracks in this section of the mountain were obviously much brighter, and the light was relatively sufficient. Since entering the crack of the mountain, although everyone can see the blue sky overhead, the rock walls on both sides are too high, and the sunlight cannot enter much at all, and the gap has always been relatively dark.
But now in front of the crack, you can see the bright sunlight, and judging from the sound, the rumbling sound of the water is coming from there, and this time a few people are all in spirit, maybe they can get rid of the bone-eating insects behind them.
After cutting a deep cut in his palm again, Chen Ziyang threw out some blood behind him, and once again used his own blood to stop the pursuit of the bone-eating insects, slowing down their pursuit.
Although he wasn't quite sure that the terrain in front of him could get rid of these pesky Gu worms, he couldn't let go of any possibility, and if he bought a little time now, he could give a few people more time to check and use the surrounding environment after they got there.
At this time, the blood in the blood bags in the hands of Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai had already spurted out, and these two people discovered one thing at the same time, that is, there were no more holes on the rock walls on both sides that were used as nests for bone-eating insects.
It seems that after this period of frantic running, the six people have run out of the gathering place of the bone-eating insects, and the most urgent task now is to get rid of the bone-eating insect swarm that is still chasing behind a few people.
At this time, there are not many bone-eating insects chasing six people in the cracks of the mountain, these smaller insects are crowded one by one, one on top of the other, densely clustered together, like a wave composed of insects, closely following behind several people.
Fortunately, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai used Chen Ziyang's blood to make a lot of bone-eating insects stay on the rock wall, and then they were left behind, otherwise, the bone-eating insects that followed a few people would not be the only ones.
As we approached the waterfall, the terrain suddenly changed. Although the ground between the crevices of the mountains that everyone ran before was high and low, it was generally relatively flat, and now there was a relatively steep slope under the feet of several people, so that a few people almost fell when they just stepped into this place.
After a stumble, Chen Ziyang hurriedly stabilized his figure, and at this time, he suddenly felt a light on his head and felt a burst of warmth, it turned out that the sun was already shining on his body.
After raising his head, Chen Ziyang looked around at the left and right as fast as he could, and saw the surrounding terrain clearly.
The six of them were now running on a huge rock, which was suspended in the air and protruding in the middle of a shaft that was not small in size, and judging by the traces of the surrounding rocks, it should have been washed out by the water.
Above the shaft is a large area of blue sky, and below the shaft is a dark green pool, which is obviously very deep. The distance between the rock and the water surface is about one-third of the height of the entire shaft, and it is relatively low, although it is only one-third of the height, it is about twenty or thirty meters.
A waterfall seven or eight meters wide hangs down on the other side of the shaft against the rock wall, and the water in the waterfall rumbles into the deep pool, making a large splash.
"What now!" Because the water was too loud, Yang Lei could only put his mouth close to Chen Ziyang's ears when he spoke, shouting loudly at the top of his voice, if he didn't do this, others wouldn't be able to hear anything at all.
Now that the six of them had stopped, the protruding part of the rock was covered with moss, and the water from the waterfall slapped against the nearby rocks, making a lot of splashes, making it very slippery.
The tip of the protruding rock is only more than two meters away from the rock wall where the waterfall is located, which means that this raised rock occupies most of the area of the deep well, but there is no place for people to hide from the boneivorous insects except for the vertical upward and downward rock walls.
Looking at the dark pool, Chen Ziyang was stunned for a while, he didn't know if it would be okay to jump so high, but now it seems that maybe this is the only way to escape, but I don't know if those bone-eating insects are afraid of water, and whether they will jump down together.
"Hey! There...... It seems that there is a space! Xu Xiaoyuan shouted desperately while gesturing to several other people, trying to attract the attention of others.
After all, she was a woman, and her voice was too small to compare with these water sounds, and if she didn't use this method, the other people wouldn't be able to hear her.
Looking in the direction Xu Xiaoyuan pointed, Chen Ziyang saw that behind the water curtain of the waterfall, there seemed to be indeed a depression.
In the middle of the waterfall, there are several slightly raised rocks, which are not angular, and are supposed to be formed by the waterfall for many years.
When the water in the waterfall passes over these rocks, it separates on both sides, creating a place where there is no water in the waterfall, as if a large hole has been broken in the waterfall, and then the water rejoins together not far below.
Under the cover of the splash, the "hole" on this waterfall appears and disappears from time to time, and through the sunlight above the shaft, you can see that there seems to be a very huge space behind the waterfall hole, so think about it, the waterfall in front of you is the same as the water curtain in front of the water curtain hole.
"I can't care so much, rush over!" Chen Ziyang shouted loudly. As soon as he turned around, he saw that the blood that he had thrown out had been licked and eaten by those bone-eating insects, and the "wave" composed of bone-eating insects was surging in the direction of several people, or in a few seconds, the insect tide would swallow several people.
Seeing that Shangguan Kangning had no intention of stopping, Chen Ziyang was the first to fly forward, he ran two steps on the raised rock, stepped on the tip of the raised rock with one foot, and at the same time made a fierce force with one foot, jumping over the distance of more than two meters.
After feeling the water pouring on his body, Chen Ziyang knew that he had passed through the water of the waterfall. Probably because of the short time it took to cross the waterfall, the water didn't wet his clothes too much, only a small one.
After passing through the current, Chen Ziyang felt that his feet touched the ground, but because the ground was relatively slippery and he didn't adjust his center of gravity, he fell directly to the ground.
Fortunately, with the power of the forward rush, he curled up his body and protected his head. After gliding on the ground for a while, Chen Ziyang raised his head.
Several other people also jumped into the back of the waterfall one after another, but they were all safe, only Yang Lei made a small episode alone.
It may be because the moss on the stones was more slippery when a few people ran before, and Yang Lei, who was the last to jump, only felt that his feet were slipping, and he didn't borrow the strength at all, and after jumping forward for a short distance, his body suddenly sank and fell in the direction of the pool.
Fortunately, the distance that needed to be jumped was only more than two meters, and the umbrella Shi Shuai, who had jumped to the back of the waterfall before, focused on the bone-eating insects behind him, and he saw that the soles of Yang Lei's feet were slipping, so he leaned out and grabbed Yang Lei's arm and pulled him up again.
Almost as soon as Yang Lei jumped, the "waves" composed of bone-eating insects chased after the protruding rock.
Fortunately, these boneivores could not fly, and they seemed to be more afraid of water, so the "waves" stopped after chasing them to the protruding rocks.
But the bone-eating insects behind the "waves" couldn't see the situation ahead at all, and were still chasing forward frantically, and these bone-eating insects hit the "waves" in front of them one by one, directly knocking the "waves" apart.
Countless bone-eating insects burst forward, and these little ones who were knocked into the air flew in the direction of the waterfall, but they were ruthlessly blocked by the flowing water of the waterfall, and were washed into the deep pool below, and none of the bone-eating insects could cross the waterfall.
After the "wave" of bone-eating insects broke down, a large number of bone-eating insects kept hovering on the protruding rock. Probably because the waterfall isolated the smell emanating from Chen Ziyang's body, these bone-eating insects slowly dispersed after wandering for a while.
"Oh my god, I made the right bet this time, it turns out that these bugs are really afraid of water." Yang Lei let out a long sigh, ignoring the dampness on the ground, and lay there directly, panting heavily.
Chen Ziyang also wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and secretly glanced in the direction of Shangguan Kangning with the corner of his eye.
At this time, although Shangguan Kangning also looked tired, there was something missing on his face, lacking the joy of the rest of his life on the faces of the other five people. It's as if he knew a few people would be safe.
The reason why he was able to notice this was because Chen Ziyang found that when he was running on the road, Shangguan Kangning's right hand was always in the placket of his clothes, as if he was holding something tightly.
Combining these points, Chen Ziyang estimated that Shangguan Kangning should have a method that could deal with those bone-eating insects, but the number of times this method could be used was limited, or the price paid was too great, so Shangguan Kangning never used it.
He estimated that if it was a dead end that appeared in front of everyone before, Shangguan Kangning would most likely use his means. This made Chen Ziyang feel a lot more relieved, and now he was lucky enough to avoid the bone-eating insects, if he encountered any other dangers, there were still Shangguan Kangning's means there, which could be regarded as a hole card.
After seeing that the bone-eating insects had completely dispersed, several people turned their attention to their surroundings and surveyed their surroundings.
This is a semi-open cave, except for the hole that is a few meters wide hidden behind the waterfall where everyone jumped in, there are many places in the cave that are connected to the outside world, but because of the previous angle, several people did not find it. Especially above this cave, there is a place where you can see the blue sky, as if you have opened a skylight.
The entire area of the cave is almost 10,000 square meters, and there is nothing special in the cave except for the mossy stones.
The six of them each turned on their flashlights and searched the cave, one to see if there were any clues, and the other to find out the danger in advance.
After searching the neighborhood for a while, Chen Ziyang felt a small pebble burrowing into his shoe, and he was very awkward when walking, so he walked to a stone more than half a meter high like a stalagmite, held the stone with one hand, and poured the pebble out of his shoe with the other.
Just as Chen Ziyang put on his shoes again and was about to continue searching the neighborhood, his feet slipped, and his feet that had just landed stepped on a large patch of wet moss. Chen Ziyang, who lost his balance, leaned against the stone and slid down.
When he staggered to his feet and patted the dust on his body, he was surprised to find that there were some lines on the stalagmite-like stone just now.
These lines were carved into the stone, very regular, and must have been artificial, but they were stuffed with those mosses before, so no one noticed.
Coincidentally, when Chen Ziyang fell just now, his back slid down the stone, and most of the moss attached to the surface of the stone was wiped off at once, so these dents were revealed.
After continuing to clean the stone for a while, Chen Ziyang removed the moss that grew on the surface of the stone, revealing the entire pattern.
The lines on the stone form a pattern, which looks like a bird and a bug, this has a Picasso style, very abstract, Chen Ziyang can't figure out what it is, but he feels that this pattern is somewhat similar to the patterns on those Gu albums he has seen before.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly turned his head and shouted to Shangguan Kangning: "Shangguan Kangning! Come here! ”
Chen Ziyang's shout attracted the attention of the other five people, and everyone gathered here, but except for Shangguan Kangning, the other people didn't know anything about this pattern.
However, with Chen Ziyang's discovery, several other people also had something to do, and while Shangguan Kangning was studying that pattern, several other people also found other patterns on some strangely shaped stones around.
This time it made Shangguan Kangning very busy, he kept running around, looking at the patterns that were discovered by everyone one after another. Some patterns he just glanced at a few times and left, while others he had to stare at for a long time, thinking about something in front of the patterns.
"How? Did you find anything? Chen Ziyang asked anxiously.
"Here...... This should be a witch tribe, and most of these patterns we see are the symbols of witch Gu. ”
