The corpse vanished, not knowing whether it had been eaten by the monster or taken by a wild beast. It occurred to me that people often say that those who do what we do often end up well, and this is a living example.

The blood stains on the ground were still faintly recognizable, so that everyone who passed by here couldn't help but shut their mouths and look around vigilantly.

Lantern Xiao stabbed Wen Mo next to him, "Hey, boss, what did you say about that monster that rolled the ground, is it possible that it is still lurking nearby?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "No, this creature likes damp and dark places, and it usually doesn't appear during the day." ”

Lantern Xiao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that everything is such a strange creature, and it is generally day and night. Roll the land? This name is so true to the working people, but I didn't expect it to be so brutal in fact! ”

We walked through here and on, but we found a problem: how should we cross the river?

The river here is very wide, the river flows very fast, although theoretically speaking, it is not completely impossible to pass, but it is still dangerous, plus the incident last night, no one knows what is still lurking under the surface of the water, even if there is really nothing else, but just a roll of ground, it is enough to deter!

In this way, the difficulty factor of forcibly crossing the river increases exponentially.

After hesitating in place for a while, the second uncle and the others decided to go further, hoping to find the clues left by the ancient ancestors here.

Yuan An sent two fast guys to set off first and explore the road ahead.

The fog around us is getting thicker and thicker, and the weather is getting a little cold. Walking in such weather, it doesn't feel too good, the surrounding moisture is very large, and soon the body feels wet, and I don't know if it's moisture or sweat, in short, it's very uncomfortable.

Lantern Xiao squinted her eyes and looked at the sky through the middle of the river valley, and said to herself: "In this kind of weather, if it rains, it will be even more troublesome." But it's choking enough to look at this weather! ”

Coincidentally, after Lantern Xiao said this, within a minute, it really fell in the sky. Lantern Xiao froze slightly, "I'll go, I'll become the weather forecast!" ”

Anador next to him gave him a blank look and said, "Crow's mouth!" ”

I walked over and asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, what if I can't find a way to cross the river?" Could it be that you really swam over? ”

The second uncle shook his head, "If the water is shallow, you can consider it, but there is a roll of land here, and it is best not to go into the water if the water is deep and shallow, it is really not good," the second uncle said, looking around, "Fortunately, the trees here are relatively dense, and it is not difficult to make two rafts from local materials!" ”

Hearing what the second uncle said, I was a little relieved and nodded.

At this moment, we suddenly heard a gunshot in front of us, and I couldn't help but be startled, but then I reacted, and then we agreed on a contact with the guy who was exploring the road in front. This shows that they have found something.

So, we quickened our pace towards the location where the gunshots were heard, and when we came to the approximate position, we saw two men standing above the valley slope on one side of the valley.

Yuan An shouted at it, "Why are you two climbing so high? What exactly was found? ”

The two guys said to the sky above the river not far ahead: "An Ye, look at that!" ”

Looking in the direction they were pointing, we saw nothing but mist in the air above the river, and some thin strands of rain falling down, and nothing else was special. Tian Laosi shouted at the two people: "Nothing! ”

"Come up!" A guy waved his hand at Tian Laosi, "Fourth brother, come up and take a look, you will understand!" ”

Tian Laosi nodded, found a position from the side, grabbed the trees on the valley slope, and climbed up in three times and two times. We watched below as he looked in the direction the two guys were pointing. Tian Laosi looked at it seriously for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and then he smiled at the guy next to him, "You two boys can do it!" Immediately afterwards, Tian Laosi shouted below: "An Ye! From here, it seems that something crosses the opposite bank. ”

Yuan An nodded, and walked up the valley slope, Tian Laosi and the two guys opened the way in front.

Walking to the place where the two guys were standing just now, Lantern Xiao looked in that direction curiously, but saw nothing except the dense mist, and couldn't help but "tsk", "Nothing!" ”

Wen Mo, who was walking behind him, said softly, "What they said is in the mist." Then he walked briskly upward.

"What?" Lantern Xiao chased after him. "What the hell is it?"

The fog and the slippery rain caused us to get up were extra careful, and I asked the second uncle, "Where are we going?" ”

The second uncle pointed to a place less than fifty meters above us, "Although I don't know very well, but you see there, the vegetation there is different from other places, it is obviously shorter, and there is a lot of depression, and there are probably facilities left by the ancestors." ”

I nodded, and since the destination was ahead, I didn't ask any more, so I followed everyone up, and soon came to the position predicted by the second uncle just now. I think the second uncle's guess is right, Tian Laosi and the two guys are already waiting there.

After going up, I found that this place was really different from other places, the ground had obviously been corrected and reinforced, and there were a lot of above-ground building debris in the surrounding bushes, but I couldn't tell what it was at the beginning.

But it didn't matter, our attention was all focused on the ground, where there were two calf-thick chains, held deep under the ground. Unfortunately, one of them is broken, while the other looks intact. The other end of the chain plunged into the thickening mist, apparently connecting the other side of the river.

The chain was covered with a slender vine, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I saw the vine now, although I knew that there was nothing dangerous about the vines on the chain.

Yuan An looked at the two guys, "Good job!" ”

Ruan Liang looked down the mountain strangely, at this time, due to the fog and rain, we couldn't see the place where we were standing just now, "How did you find here?" Nice eyes! ”

"No, no," the two men waved their hands, "and it was thanks to a monkey to be able to see it." ”

"Monkeys?"

One of the guys nodded, "When we walked to the river below the valley slope just now, we suddenly heard a movement in the woods behind us, which startled the two of us. Later, when we looked closely, it turned out to be a monkey, so we picked up a rock and threw it at it. The monkey was frightened, so he jumped up along the trunk of the tree, and the fog was not so great at that time, and soon we found that the monkey seemed to be hanging in mid-air, and the two of us hurriedly climbed up the slope just now and noticed that there was actually a chain running through the river. ”

After listening to the guy's explanation, I didn't know whether to complain about the sudden fog or to be glad to meet a monkey who inadvertently pointed us in the right direction.

Lantern Xiao walked over and stepped on the unbroken iron chain, "Is this thing strong?" Don't climb halfway up to the waist and break it with a click, then you will be completely blind! Saying that, Lantern Xiao looked at the broken iron chain next to him, "It's really hanging, this one has been broken, and that one is not broken!" ”

Wen Mo picked up the truncated iron chain and looked at it, and said, "This iron chain is not broken after decay, but artificially cut off!" As he spoke, he pointed to the broken mouth, "Here, it's very neat!" ”

Lantern Xiao hurriedly took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, "It's true, but why did people cut an iron chain by themselves at that time?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head and didn't speak. yes, who knows!

Yuan An walked over and looked at the situation on the chain, "Wen Mo is right. However, no matter why the chain was cut, the one left behind was fine. Then, he looked at the vines crawling on the chain, and nodded, "There is some rust on the surface of the chain, but the inside is basically intact, I don't know what was added when it was forged." The other thing is that these vines, which I've seen in other places, are called sponge vines. The plant has thin branches but large leaves, so water evaporates quickly. Therefore, this plant needs a lot of water, so it generally grows around rivers and lakes. This rattan is very absorbent, which is why it is called sponge rattan. It is used to grow this plant on an iron chain, so that it is protected from excessive water vapor erosion, so that it can maintain its current texture. ”

When Yuan An said this, it sounded very reasonable. I quietly asked the second uncle next to me, "Hey, second uncle, is he right?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "Even so, this kind of one-root chain, which is not even a single-plank bridge, is not easy to pass!" ”

I watched the thick iron cable sway in the mist, and I couldn't help but feel very worried.

"Even if this thing is sturdy, it won't work!" Lantern Xiao gestured and said, "At such a distance, in this kind of chain, we can only climb with bare hands, and we can't all be like Wenmo." ”

Tian Laosi sneered beside him, "Wenmo is not the only one who is good, besides, you don't think that you really rely on your hands, pull your body, and swing over, right?!" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at Tian Laosi with some doubts, "Otherwise?" ”

Tian Laosi snorted coldly, ignored him, turned to Ruan Liang and said, "You go first, stand ahead, and say hello if you have any questions!" ”
