【295】Wonders of the Cave
There are a total of two caves in the ancestral land of the stone tribe, and the cave that Shen Nong and the others took the lead in approaching is filled with a pungent and disgusting smell, as if it is the smell of some kind of wild beast's dung, Shen Nong couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, he remembered that the last time he came here, he saw those sloths in the dragon training, could it be that those sloths kept the dinosaurs in the cave on weekdays?
"It stinks, too. Someone complained.
"Go in and have a look. Shen Nong said.
Everyone walked into the cave one after another, only to find that it was a hollowed-out area, and the area of this area was quite large.
The entire cave was covered with weeds, and the ground was littered with the bones of some animals, which looked like some kind of dinosaur.
In the depths of the cave, more than a dozen small dinosaurs can be seen lying there, all of them tied around their necks with many circles of vines, and with their strength they cannot break free.
In the vicinity of these dinosaurs, there are also many intact dinosaur eggs and some broken egg fragments.
"Hey, there's something on the ground that's been dragged. Shen Nong looked at the stone ground at the entrance of the cave, and saw that white scratches suspected to have been scraped by claws could be clearly seen on the ground.
Shen Nong looked down at the scratches, and then walked towards the other end, but this action led him to the entrance of the second cave.
"It looks like a lot of dinosaurs were dragged alive from that cave by something...... Shen Nong frowned and thought.
You must know that the power of a dinosaur is not small, can those sloths who live here have this power?
If not, then what dragged the dinosaurs away?
Shen Nong's heart itched, he seemed to have discovered something special, those sloths inexplicably snatched their ancestral land from the hands of the Shi tribe was definitely not a coincidence of unintentional moves.
How to train your dragon...... Very wise...... Bizarre Dinosaur Missing ......
"Wu, do you want to go in and have a look?" someone asked.
"Let's wait for the people of the Stone Tribe to come together, this is their ancestral land, they should be familiar with this place. Shen Nong said.
Miao took his people to search around the ancestral land, but did not find any sloths, so he walked to Shen Nong's side and reported to him.
Since there are no sloth remnants in the periphery, it is time for everyone to enter the cave to see the situation, and at Shen Nong's suggestion, Miao took the initiative to take Shen Nong and the others into the cave.
As one of the purposes to attract Shen Nong to this place, since he has already helped the people of the Shi tribe to take back the ancestral land, the stone tribe must also show him that the vine bark is real.
The group went all the way into the cave, and soon the light in the cave became dimer and darker, until they could not see the people walking near them clearly.
In order to prevent accidental danger, Shen Nong opened the wooden tube he had prepared before leaving the Huangqiu tribe, and suddenly a flash of fire emanated from the wooden tube, illuminating the surrounding environment.
Following the spear launcher, the people of the Stone Tribe once again exclaimed at the Huangqiu Tribe.
With the help of the firelight, the light in the cave reappeared, and everyone could see the road again, and they felt much more stable when they walked.
After about a hundred meters or so, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and a dense forest appeared in their eyes.
You must know that this is the belly of Broken Rock Mountain, and there is no sunlight all year round, so how can there be a forest?
"This is what you call vine bark?" Shen Nong asked suspiciously.
How do you know that Miao is also shocked at this moment, and this scene in front of him seems to be the first time he has seen it.
"How so? It wasn't like this before. Miao said in surprise.
“......”
Shen Nong was silent, in this way, this large forest in the belly of the mountain is still related to those sloths? But the question is how they did it, the trees in this forest seem to be not very old.
Just when everyone was shocked, they suddenly heard the sound of water in the belly of the mountain, the water was turbulent, and the water potential was not small.
"Isn't there even a plant that can't grow on Broken Rock Mountain? Where does the water come from? Shen Nong wondered in his heart, generally speaking, even if there was a pond in the mountain, it would only exist in a mountain made of dirt, not a mountain made entirely of rocks like Broken Rock Mountain.
It is not abnormal for the general mountain belly to have waterfalls and flowing water, but it is only limited to the special mountain type of snow-capped mountains and lakes on the mountains, and the Broken Rock Mountain has nothing to do with these conditions, so where does this water flow come from?
"Let's go and have a look, just so I'm going to take you to the vine bark. Miao said.
"Don't worry, tell me how big this place is?" Shen Nong asked.
He already knew that many dinosaurs had been dragged into this cave, which meant that there were either many dinosaurs in the belly of this mountain, or there was a mysterious creature that could drag dinosaurs. Either way, the consequences are very dangerous.
"It's not very big, you can walk a few hundred steps to the end. Miao said.
"Are there any dangerous beasts in here?"
"Haha, how is this possible, how is it possible for our tribe to let the beasts enter here. Miao smiled and shook her head.
"You can't, but those monsters might. Shen Nong looked around vigilantly, and then said, "Array." ”
Immediately, the people of the Huangqiu tribe formed a half-moon-shaped formation, with the shield hand in front and the launcher behind, walking slowly towards the front.
"Keep up, be careful, there may be some beast here that we don't know about. ”
Under the light of the fire in Shen Nong's hand, everyone took him as the center, gathered together and moved collectively, at this time, this mountain belly area is very dangerous for the Huangqiu tribe and others or the Shi tribe and others, because no one knows the situation here, the darkness outside the firelight area is like a giant mouth waiting for Shen Nong and others to approach, and the tall trees in those forests are windless and automatic, and they can't help but look even more weird under the shadow of the firelight.
As soon as he walked into the forest, Shen Nong felt a drop of water fall on his face, and he couldn't help but look up, only to see that these droplets were all hanging down from the branches and leaves of the trees above his head.
"The humidity in this forest is so thick that even the branches and leaves appear to be dewy and condensate. Shen Nong thought to himself.
With the help of the firelight, Shen Nong could also see that on the trunks of those branches, there were spiders of all sizes, they seemed to be very afraid of the fire, and when Shen Nong got closer, they all immediately crawled away from the place and dissipated in an instant.
"There are so many spiders, but I don't even see a single spider's web. ”
After a short time into the forest, Miao suddenly made a voice for Shen Nong to hear, and pointed to a big tree not far away and said, "I found it, that is the bark of the vine tree!"
Shen Nong looked at it and saw that it was a strange tree with dark bark and many vines attached to the surface of the bark, this tree had branches and no leaves, and the trunk was curved and slanted, which was very different from those normal trees nearby, so the seedlings could be recognized at a glance.
"Go over and see. ”
Walking into this strange tree, Shen Nong used a stone knife to draw on this tree, and sure enough, as Miao said before, the bark of this vine tree was extremely tough, and the knife and spear could not cause any damage on it. If this kind of rattan bark can be used to make armor to wear on the body, then the hundred-person battle group that Shen Nong wants to build will definitely become even stronger.
"Since this vine bark can withstand the attack of the stone knife, how can I take it off?" Shen Nong asked.
"That's it. Miao stepped forward to give Shen Nong a personal demonstration, only to see him grasp the tendons on the surface of the trunk with both hands, and then began to tear down with force, and the bark that even a stone knife could not cause damage was easily torn off by him.
Hidden beneath the bark of the vine tree is a ski-white body, which is very different from the color of its bark.
Taking the rattan bark from the hands of the seedlings, Shen Nong immediately looked at it carefully, this piece of rattan bark feels particularly soft and easy to fold, I believe it must be very suitable for making armor, in addition to this, the rattan bark is also very light, it is not heavy at all in the hand, if it is made into armor and worn on the body, it should not bring any weight to the people of the Huangqiu tribe.
"It's a perfect fit. Shen Nong couldn't help but admire: "How many rattan barks like this are here?"
"There used to be only a dozen trees, but now I don't know, and I don't know what these monsters have done to make this place like this. Miao said as he looked around.
"Let's tear off all the bark from this tree, and then we'll look around and take all the bark with us. ”
Hearing Shen Nong's words, Miao immediately took several of his clansmen to tear off the vine bark on the tree, they are experts in doing this, very experienced, everyone tore off the vine bark neatly and one piece at a time, without any flaws and cracks, Shen Nong, who is not obsessive-compulsive, feels comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
After Miao and the others tore off the bark, the group began to march again, it is rare to have time to come to Broken Rock Mountain, then you must harvest him a full bowl, this time the vine bark has to be able to equip a complete hundred-person battle group or half a hundred-person battle group, Shen Nong can return to the tribe.
And Miao found that there had been such a big change in his tribe's ancestral land, so he naturally wanted to find out the changes in this cave with the help of Shen Nong and others, and now Shen Nong was able to stay and continue to search for the whereabouts of the vine bark, but he was supported by his hands and feet in his heart.
