Chapter 13: The Scorpion-tailed Lion Underground
In the dark, there was a sudden rapid cough, and Sun Licheng woke up after spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
He only remembered that he and the boar fell into a deep hole, and then there was a chaotic click, and the ground under him shattered again, and Sun Licheng and the boar continued to fall down.
This time, the place where they fell was very deep, and Sun Licheng rolled all the way, and there seemed to be no end underneath, as if he had fallen into the bottomless pit in "Journey to the West".
In the process of falling, Sun Licheng was constantly bumped by the surrounding obstacles and suffered serious trauma. It didn't take long for the boar's teeth to snap. At first, Sun Licheng could clearly hear the fierce cry of the wild boar in the dark, but then the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally he could only hear the sound of the collision between the flesh and the stone wall. fell all the way, and Sun Licheng didn't fall into a coma.
After a long time, Sun Licheng felt empty and finally fell to the bottom of the cave.
"This height should be very high. ”
Sun Licheng guessed. Because when he fell to the bottom of the cave, he finally fainted.
............
It's a pitch-black cave with no light at all.
In the process of Sun Licheng's recovery, he could still hear something falling from the top of his head, making a loud whistling and falling sound. At this time, Sun Licheng was a little scared, afraid that something would be smashed directly on his head, and it would be too wronged.
Fortunately, this conjecture did not come true.
Although the goblin's eyes have good vision in the dark night, and Sun Licheng's perception ability is very strong, he still can't see anything in complete darkness.
Sun Licheng kept groping around with both hands, and he could confirm that he had fallen on a mountain of corpses. For what he touched was either a skeleton of bones, or carrion.
Sun Licheng is very hungry now, and the things that fell from the sky are most likely other animals, and they are the food he desperately needs.
The hard work paid off, touching and touching, Sun Licheng felt that his hands were a little wet, raised it under his nose and smelled it, and licked it with his tongue, it was the smell of blood.
Soon, Sun Licheng searched for a corpse along the blood, and sat on the ground to eat it. Even though he didn't know what he was gnawing on. Anyway, it's really dark. Those time-traveling novels are all deceptive, there is no light in the hole, and it is strange that you can see things clearly. Believe it or not, when you play Old Roll Five, try to wrap yourself in the hole with that real light.
Sun Licheng, who had recovered his strength, continued to explore the surroundings, and after an unknown amount of time, in addition to touching the other two fresh corpses, he actually groped for his leather backpack. Overjoyed, Sun Licheng opened his backpack in the dark. Luckily, in addition to the weapons, the contents of the backpack are basically there.
There was a click of stones, and then a fire lit up in the cave, and Sun Licheng lit the torch in his backpack. Everything in the cave was unfolded in front of you, and the huge boar that had put itself in deep trouble lay not far away.
It is a cave of nearly two hundred square meters, with several large openings above the head. From the outside, it vaguely resembles some broken pipes, which is very weird. Sun Licheng guessed that he and the wild boar should have fallen from one of them.
Sun Licheng looked around, but found no exit. This made him panic, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It can't be just the holes above, otherwise the smell of the cave wouldn't be so light. The abnormality in the cave made Sun Licheng find hope to get out.
I don't know how many beasts this cave devoured, and all kinds of corpses were piled up on the ground, covering the entire cave. Some of these bodies have been turned into mummies, and some have become skeletons entirely. Sun Licheng guessed that this time must have been a long time ago, because some bones had been severely weathered, and Sun Licheng just touched it and shattered into powder. Of course, there are also fresh carcasses in the cave, including the wild boar that fought with him.
After a while, Sun Licheng found a huge crack, extending from the bottom of the cave to the top of the cave, looking inside, it was dark and faint to see the distance, and half of the body of a large animal was drilled into the crack.
Sun Licheng tried, and he was barely able to climb in. Touching the leopard-like animal in front of him, although he found this crack, it was stuck here because it was too big, and finally died.
In fact, there are several such cracks in this cave, but this one is the largest, and streams of air blow in through the cracks. It is the air that blows in that makes the whole cave a little stuffy, but not suffocating.
Now Sun Licheng's nerves are very thick, and it is not the first time he has been in a pile of corpses. The original bone knife was gone, and he searched through the pile of corpses for a while, finding a broken bone that was still quite sharp. Using the bone as a bone knife, he stripped the two animal mummies from their fur, smeared them with the grease he had brought with them, and lit a small bonfire. Sun Licheng now has a small torch on hand, and he doesn't dare to waste it if he wants to save it for a critical time. Fortunately, there is a lot of dry fur here, but there is no shortage of fuel.
The dried fur crackled in the flames, emitting a foul smell. Sun Licheng began to prepare for going out.
He sprinkled the meat of wild boar and several relatively fresh animal carcasses with salt and made strips of meat for his own food.
In the production of meat strips, Sun Licheng unexpectedly found a yellow crystal in the head of a wild boar, the size of cherry tomatoes. This inspired Sun Licheng, and he began to rummage through the pile of bones for magic crystals. The number of corpses in this cave is very large, and the size and ferocity are far from comparable to that of the previous animal graveyard. After some exploration, Sun Licheng found nearly twenty crystals of various kinds. The animals that can produce such crystals are all fierce people, and now they have all fallen to death in this small cave, which can't help but make Sun Licheng a little embarrassed.
Time passed quickly, the stench emitted by the bonfire became stronger and stronger, and the flames accelerated the consumption of oxygen in the cave, and Sun Licheng felt that the cave was becoming more and more suffocating.
Sun Licheng knew that he couldn't wait any longer, but fortunately, he was almost ready at this time. He stuffed the processed meat strips into his backpack as much as possible, and devoured those that couldn't be stuffed up, the food was rare, and Sun Licheng was reluctant to waste it.
Taking advantage of the firelight to take a last look at the hole, Sun Licheng dragged out the corpse, and pushed the backpack into the crack without hesitation.
............
The inside of the crack is very dark, the stone walls on both sides are extremely rough, and some places are so narrow that Sun Licheng needs to trim it with a bone knife for half a day before he can desperately squeeze through. The fur on his body had been scraped badly from the fight with the wild boar and falling into the cave, and now it was too difficult to move in the cracks, so he simply took it off.
After climbing for a long time, I only remember eating three times halfway, and when Sun Licheng was a little desperate, he heard the sound of running water in front of him. Sun Licheng began to speed up.
Finally, the backpack in front of him fell, and he carefully controlled the speed of the backpack's fall, and soon the backpack was stationary. Sun Licheng was pleasantly surprised to find that the ground in front of him was not high from the entrance of the cave.
Climbing out of the crack, Sun Licheng was finally able to stand up straight, he didn't care about the pain on his body, took out a torch from his backpack, and lit it.
After the torch was lit, Sun Licheng looked around. It was a large crater, and its fall reached nearly ten meters, and the left and right sides were nearly twenty meters apart. A dark river flows in the center of the cave, and the strange stone bell stalagmites hang upside down from the dome, illuminated by torches, glowing with colorful brilliance.
Sun Licheng walked to the river with a torch, the river was not very deep, the current speed was not fast, and some silver-white fish with a length of fifty or sixty centimeters swam in the water.
After eating cured meat for a long time, Sun Licheng couldn't help but drool when he looked at the fat big fish. Just as he was about to go down to the river to catch fish, a violent roar sounded not far away.
At this time, the god in Sun Licheng's mind also shouted: "I know where this is." This bastard actually threw himself into the net. ”
The gods wanted to remind Sun Licheng, but Sun Licheng didn't seem to react at all. Only then did the god remember that he had never communicated with Sun Licheng, like two decoders of different standards, unable to analyze the data at all. Thinking of this, the god felt his cold sweat begin to fall.
In fact, most of the pits in life were dug by themselves, and at this time, the gods didn't remember that it was they who lowered Sun Licheng's lucky attributes to a low point, but who is to blame for this?
............
Sun Licheng hurriedly turned his head and looked through the light of the torch, only to see a monster appear in the cave.
The monster was dark red in color and huge, nearly three meters tall, with a lion's head and two boar-like fangs coming out of its mouth. It had two wings on its back, two bat-like wings clinging to its back, and its tail was a giant scorpion tail with a huge poisonous needle at the end of the tail that shone with a cold glow. Now the lion was staring at Sun Licheng with those eyes like copper bells, and the cold light in his eyes kept shining.
Since becoming a goblin, Sun Licheng realized that this was a magical world, but the creatures on the ground basically looked normal, this was the first time he had seen a magical creature completely different from the earth, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.
The raging lion would not give Sun Licheng a chance to be in a daze, so he suddenly rushed up and attacked.
Sun Licheng is also experienced in a hundred battles now, and the moment the lion got close, he flexibly jumped out to the right.
Before Sun Licheng could congratulate himself on dodging the lion's attack, he felt as if his waist had been pierced by an iron cone, and the severe pain rushed to his brain like a tide.
It turned out that the lion used its scorpion tail to stab Sun Licheng's waist fiercely. The lion who succeeded in the blow quickly discharged the venom, and soon Sun Licheng was flipped to the ground by numbness and lost consciousness.
The lion didn't seem to want to eat Sun Licheng, and with a flick of its tail, Sun Licheng was thrown into the dark river, and the river soon submerged it.
After the victory, the lion roared, and the whole pit buzzed, and the sand and stones fell.
