The night in the mountains came quickly, and not long after Hua Qing and the others left, the sky quickly darkened, and the back mountain officially entered the night.

Sparse sounds began to sound all around, and the cries of unknown animals could be heard in the distance, which made people's hearts chill.

After Lu Chen put the golden light talisman given by Hua Qing close to his body, he searched around with a bamboo cane, and after finding that there was no major problem, he sat down under a tree.

Thinking carefully about what had just happened, many doubts appeared in Lu Chen's mind. What particularly caught Lu Chen's attention was the strange fragrant aura that emitted a strange fragrance, which in Lu Chen's eyes was likely to be the legendary elixir.

According to Lu Chen's original conjecture, the "elixir" should be near this waterfall, because the breath was also cut off here. But where it was, it made Lu Chen very puzzled, and he couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head.

Moreover, Lu Chen also heard Jiang Zuo's previous actions, and according to the reactions of Huaqing and Li Yuer at that time, Lu Chen could probably analyze the situation at that time. At the beginning, the caves of the blue-eyed golden toad were completely unknown to the people, which meant that they could not find it at a glance. And Jiang Zuo burned the dense vines around the periphery with fire to find out where the cave was located, that is, the outside of the cave was closed, so how did the blue-eyed golden toad enter?

At the beginning of the matter, Lu Chen discovered this problem, but before he could think about it, Jiang Zuo was poisoned and injured, and the scene was out of control, and Lu Chen could only hide his words in his heart first.

Looking back now, catching that blue-eyed golden toad at that time had a lot of problems.

He shook his head and threw aside the cluttered thoughts in his head. The main purpose of coming to Houshan this time is to find elixir, and Lu Chen has always kept it in mind.

His thoughts were chaotic, although he knew that the "elixir" was nearby, but he couldn't find the direction at all, and he didn't know where to start.

"Waterfall, waterfall, where the hell did you hide the elixir?"

Just as Lu Chen was shouting in a mess in his heart, he suddenly imagined the scene in his mind where Jiang Zuo used fire to burn the vines on the stone wall and found the blue-eyed golden toad. I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart, "Could it be that the elixir is also hiding in such a place?"

Lu Chen groped in the darkness, came to the stone wall next to the waterfall, and prostrated himself close to the stone wall. Then he groped around the wall, knocking from time to time, and listened with his ears. He picked up the bamboo cane and tapped on the other stone walls that had not been burned and were still crawling with unknown vines, and tore the vines off with his hands.

After some effort, Lu Chen was disappointed, on the stone wall covered with vines and weeds, except for the big hole in the bowl that Jiang Zuo found with fire, there was no other gap, and the rest of the places were dense and uneven stones.

Lu Chen wanted to use this to find out if there was a place similar to the blue-eyed golden toad cave, but in vain, frowning, Lu Chen sat down against the stone wall, his face against the bamboo cane, thinking about the problem.

His thoughts continued to diverge, and Lu Chen couldn't help but think of the place where the blue-eyed golden toad lived. According to the words of Jiang Zuo and the others, the entrance of the cave was closed, and it should have entered the cave from other places.

And the golden toad and the "elixir" appeared at the same time and place, and they are very likely to be connected. Hua Qing said that the golden toad likes water, so the one that is closest to the cave and most likely to be the entrance is ...... Waterfall.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen vaguely grasped some key point, Lu Chen got up and came to the small pool next to him with a bamboo cane. In front of Lu Chen, there was a waterfall several feet high. Even if he couldn't see, Lu Chen could feel the impact on his face, and the water vapor came to his face, forming a layer of water droplets on his face. The water fell and slapped against the bluestone in the pool, and the sound was unusually clear in the dark night.

Lu Chen took off the coat he was draping on, took off the hat, and was wearing only a set of single clothes with a base on his body. Immediately, Lu Chen turned over and jumped into the small pool under the waterfall, the water in the pool was not deep, and it had just reached Lu Chen's knees. Lu Chen bent down and groped, and the falling waterfall hit the edge of the pool, splashing everywhere, soaking Lu Chen's whole body. The night was very cold, and the water brought by the waterfall wrapped in the air, blowing the land dust shivering.

After some fumbling to no avail, Lu Chen raised his head and had no choice but to set his sights on this waterfall. Hearing the sound of the waterfall falling, Lu Chen judged that this waterfall was definitely not low, and thought that he would have to verify his guess under it later, and his heart was beating a drum.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Chen held the bamboo cane tightly in his hand and walked towards the waterfall.

"Ahh

As soon as he walked into the waterfall, Lu Chen felt a violent impact coming down from the top of his head, and he didn't react under the shaking, and was slapped to the ground by the waterfall with great water potential. With his hands propped up at the bottom of the pool, Lu Chen clearly felt the hot feeling coming from his back. Under the sudden lapping of the waterfall, Lu Chen's knee also hit the bottom of the pool, and the sharp pain came, making Lu Chen grin for a while, and he didn't know what the situation was.

Got up and came back to his senses, Lu Chen walked towards the waterfall again, only to feel that there was a thousand pounds of heavy stones on his back, and he raised his hand to raise the bamboo cane and probed forward, but he accidentally poked into the air.

The bamboo cane poked in the air means that the waterfall is not a closed stone wall, not a physical object.

Lu Chen felt a burst of joy in his heart, his conjecture was right. There must be something unusual behind the waterfall, most likely a cave, and maybe there is a passage in it that connects to the hole where the blue-eyed golden toad was found. Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, which also meant that the "elixir" that Lu Chen was looking for was in that cave.

Against the huge impact on his shoulders, Lu Chen felt as if his shoulders were no longer his own, but he still groped behind the waterfall with difficulty. Soon, Lu Chen judged that there was a hole several feet wide and high behind the waterfall.

Immediately, after confirming what he was thinking, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and stepped into the hole. The moment he entered the cave, Lu Chen felt that his body was loosened, and the thousand catties of great strength were finally unloaded. Lu Chen exhaled and began to explore the environment in the cave.

His nose twitched, and Lu Chen clearly smelled the fragrance in the cave even stronger. Even if an ordinary person comes here, he can smell this smell, which is obviously very close to Lu Chen's goal.

"That 'elixir' must be in this cave......" Lu Chen said in a low voice.

The cave was very damp, obviously caused by the waterfall outside, and Lu Chen almost slipped and fell a few times unconsciously. The cave wall was covered with some unknown mosses, Lu Chen's hand only felt a little sticky to the touch, shook his hand, didn't pay attention to the cave wall, and continued to walk towards the cave......

The overall trend of the cave seems to be extending downward, and walking in it is as if you are going downhill. And its depth was also a bit unexpected by Lu Chen, who estimated that a quarter of an hour had passed since he had just come in and walked here. Although Lu Chen was stop-and-go, he had walked at least a hundred steps anyway.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Lu Chen continued to walk deeper into the cave. At this point, Lu Chen only felt that the downward slope of the cave was even steeper, and Lu Chen slowed down, so he had to walk step by step with a bamboo cane.

Roar!

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar from inside the cave, like the roar of some unknown beast, Lu Chen only felt a roar in his ears, his hearing was already more sensitive than ordinary people, and it was so loud. Lu Chen's legs lost control, softened, and under the stumble, Lu Chen fell to the ground with a thud, unable to control his body and rolled down to the depths of the hole.

The cave was getting steeper and steeper, coupled with the slippery ground, Lu Chen tried to stop his downward trend several times, but he couldn't exert his strength. Lu Chen pointed his fingers at the cave wall, but there was nothing to borrow.

Under the friction between the skin on his back and the stone wall, Lu Chen only felt a burning pain, which must be dripping with blood. If he continued to fall down at this speed, Lu Chen didn't have to think about it and knew that it would definitely be a broken end.

Lu Chen's heart was full of despair, the closest time he was from seeing his eyes again, the closest time he was from being able to control his own destiny, did he have to die like this? Lu Chen's heart was unwilling.

Under the whirlwind of the sky, Lu Chen felt as if he was about to slide into the bottomless abyss.

When the cave reached the bottom, Lu Chen slid out of the cave passage that he didn't know how long it was, and a strong sense of weightlessness hit, rushing Lu Chen's already small consciousness to the ground.

Peng!

The surrounding water was pervasively enveloped in the land dust, which fell into the water. With the last bit of consciousness, Lu Chen borrowed his strength from somewhere, and rowed desperately towards the shore as if he was returning to the light.

There was only one thought in Lu Chen's mind, "I can't die......!" How can you just die like this, there is still so much to be done, not to let your eyes see the light of day, not to see the world outside of town...... didn't control his damn fate, so he died like this, how could he be worthy of his own efforts, how could he be worthy of Ah Jiuye's upbringing and expectations. How could he die, how dare he die......"

Lu Chen's heart was full of unwillingness, there was a chance, he really wanted to ask this God, why did he treat him like this, depriving him of his heaven and earth at his most innocent age, and making everything dark. In his most helpless moments, he took with him those closest to him. Everything seems to be working against him. However, he Lu Chen, he just didn't want to be that ordinary disabled person, he wanted to resist.

The power of man's explosion in the face of adversity is immeasurable, and his hands are desperately paddling in the water. Lu Chen used all his strength, and finally felt his hand touch the ground. As soon as he raised his head, he ran out of energy, and his consciousness was swept into the darkness and he lost consciousness......
