【120】Insect traces in the cave

"There it is!" Shen Nong said suddenly.

I saw him take out a stone from the animal skin bag around his waist with a certain liquid solidified on the surface.

At the beginning, Shen Nong used to mix the body fluids of turbid water flies, but after experiencing the battle of the Black Stone Tribe and subduing the An's middle beast, there were very few left, and now there were only five left.

In order to be able to enter the cave ** to find out, Shen Nong didn't care about saving at this moment, directly put the stone on the slingshot, and then accurately shot one of the two Cangtao people.

Without any accident, the person collapsed to the ground in an instant after being hit by the stone, and even lost the strength to speak in a short time.

And the Cangtao people who were standing on the side suddenly found that their clansmen had fallen, and immediately became panicked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

But the other party didn't even have the strength to speak now, how could he answer his question, he could only look at it with his eyes straight away, and his body was lying on the ground weakly.

"Wait, I'll go find Wu now. The Cangtao tribesman turned his head to look left and right, and after seeing that there was nothing nearby, he strode away, and it looked like he was going to the Cangtao tribe to find someone to help.

"Now, let's get inside. Seeing that there was only one fallen Cangtao clan member left outside the cave, Shen Nong hurriedly turned around and said to Bai Fu, and then took the lead in running towards the cave.

And Bai Fu naturally followed Shen Nong firmly, for fear that he would encounter any danger.

The two of them walked into the cave very smoothly, only to see that because the cave could not even shine in the moonlight, it was even darker than the light outside the cave, and it was completely to the extent that they couldn't see their fingers.

In this case, Shen Nong could only approach the rock wall of the cave and move forward with his back against the rock wall, which could not only prevent himself from tripping over things that could not be seen under his feet, but also use this to make sure that his steps were walking deeper into the cave.

"Slow down, I can't see you. At this moment, Bai Fu suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Nong's animal skin coat, and then pulled him into his side and said, "We have to do this so that we won't get separated." ”

"Okay. Shen Nong nodded helplessly, letting Bai Fu tug at his clothes.

After walking for more than five hundred steps, a bright light finally appeared in the depths of the cave, and Shen Nong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene: "It seems that the Cangtao tribe still has a fire source in this cave, so there is no need for us to grope our way forward in this cave like a blind man with a black light." ”

Shen Nong hurriedly took Bai Fu in the direction of the firelight, and saw that after the two of them were getting closer and closer to the light, the origin of the light source was also seen by Shen Nong.

It was a pile of large and small stones, and in the middle of it was a pit, and at this time a raging flame was burning inside, and the light of the fire illuminated all the surrounding areas.

With this firelight, Shen Nong could be regarded as having a clear view of the surrounding situation, it turned out that this place was already the end of the cave, and further on was a rock wall, which exposed a lot of the kind of ore that Shen Nong had seen in the Cangtao tribe this morning.

"Sure enough, this is the source of the mine!" Shen Nong couldn't help but say in surprise.

According to his observation of the ore in the morning, he speculated that the vein discovered by the Cangtao tribe was most likely a copper mine, and if handled well, it was enough to raise the combat level of a tribe by several steps.

Think about it, at present, most of the weapons of the Huangqiu tribe are mainly bone weapons, because of the lack of stones, only a few warriors can use stone weapons, if such a Huangqiu tribe encounters an attack by a tribe that uses copper weapons, in the case of the same number of people, the end of the Huangqiu tribe is only to perish.

"I have to get this vein for the Huangqiu tribe. Shen Nong said secretly in his heart.

Don't look at the Huangqiu tribe and the Cangtao tribe both belong to the Ten Alliance tribes, and everyone once agreed to help each other.

But in this primitive land, allies cannot be completely relied upon, and your relationship may look good now, but there is no guarantee that one day the other party will be stronger than you, and they will exterminate your tribe for resources and food.

Therefore, only by making your tribe stronger and stronger is the only way to survive on this land.

Shen Nong must not be able to watch the people of the Cangtao tribe dig this vein, it can be seen from Huang Chen's biting attitude that the Cangtao tribe must have sensed the important value of this copper ore, if they find a way to turn the copper ore into a weapon one day, then several tribes near the Cangtao tribe, including the Huangqiu tribe, may be in danger.

"The number of people from our Huangqiu who came here this time is not very large, and it is not suitable to compete with the Cangtao tribe for this copper vein at present, so let's wait until the end of this ten-part conference and return to the tribe to discuss. ”

Shen Nong has calculated that the time has passed quite long, and the Cangtao tribesman who ran back to the tribe to find people may be on the way here with helpers, and he and Bai Fu have to leave here quickly, otherwise if they bump into those Cangtao people in the cave, I am afraid it will be very troublesome.

Just as Shen Nong was about to open his mouth to tell Bai Fu that it was time to leave, Bai Fu suddenly pointed to a corner of the cave and asked, "Do you see if something is moving there?"

Shen Nong looked at the position of Bai Fu's finger, and sure enough, with the help of the raging flames burning in the stone pile, Shen Nong could vaguely see that there was a black shadow squirming in that corner.

This black shadow was the size of a person, the shape was oval, and it looked like a surfboard lying horizontally, Shen Nong suddenly became alert, and directly tensed his body and shouted at the black shadow: "Who?"

"It's a dead man. Bai Fu said lightly.

"Dead man?" Shen Nong was stunned, isn't this a mine cave guarded by the Cangtao tribe? How could there be a dead person? Who could this dead man be?

With so many questions in his heart, Shen Nong pulled out the bone knife on his waist and walked towards the black shadow.

When he got closer, Shen Nong finally saw the true face of this black shadow, but Shen Nong's face changed instantly, and he bent down with a distorted expression and began to vomit.

"I'll go...... What is this......"

I saw that the true face of the black shadow was a rotting male corpse, and the lower half of the corpse had no muscle tissue at all, and only two glowing white bones remained.

The upper body of the corpse was crawled with all kinds of strange-shaped insects, among which the white fat worm, which was shaped like a silkworm, was the most numerous.

These insects kept crawling and wriggling on the male corpse, and there were many insects coming in and out of the wounds on the male corpse's skin and facial features, which made people's hairs stand on end and the roots of their teeth were sore.

Shen Nong had seen dead people, and he had also seen people who were burned alive, but the deaths of those people were not as miserable as the male corpse in front of Shen Nong's eyes.

Looking around along the man's corpse, Shen Nong found that the surface of this rock wall was all crawling with dense insects, they were like stacked arhats, one by one, making it impossible to judge how many people climbed on this rock wall.

What Shen Nong can be sure of is that there are at least no less than 10,000.
