During the day, there were still strong gusts of wind, whining as they blew through the valley.

"This used to be a river. Gong Jiaheng said. This river is called the Box River, but later the Box River dried up and became a valley, so it was called "Box Valley".

"The valley was sad, it was fine when it was still a river, but when the river dried up, it became a valley, but it changed suddenly, and it is said that after someone walked into the valley, they never came out. ”

These are all things that Gong Jiaheng knew when he listened to the stories told by the elders of his tribe, and now he really sees it, and his feelings are different.

"It's worthy of the Box, Shao Xuan, have you smelled a very special smell?" asked Gong Jiaheng.

"Stones?"

"It smells of death. ”

Gong Jiaheng sighed meaningfully, and then walked forward.

Gongjia Mountain is in the valley, but even so, when walking around in such a valley, I always feel an indescribable depression.

There are no animals, bare rocks on both sides, and even vegetation is scarce. When I was in the woods before, although there were no wild beasts and fierce beasts, at least there were dense plants, and here, it was like a dead place that was inaccessible.

The Boxman used to live in a place like this?

Gong Jiaheng said that a long time ago this was still a river, so in the early days, it should have been a good habitat, but I don't know why it became like this.

"I'll leave after noon. Gong Jiaheng said.

"Why?" asked Shao Xuan.

"After noon, I found the door to Gongjia Mountain. ”

Since Gong Jiaheng said so, Shao Xuan also agreed, the box people know more things than him, it is better than blindly moving forward.

After noon, the two of them set off.

The further you go. Shao Xuan had a familiar feeling, recalled, thinking of something, Shao Xuan had to admit that it was indeed the same as Gong Jiaheng said, there is indeed a smell of death here. But at the same time, for others, it's an opportunity.

Shao Xuan felt the existence of the nuclear species, not here, it was still a little far away, but Shao Xuan did feel the breath of death that belonged to the nuclear species. Perhaps the surrounding barren and desolate valley with little other life was caused by the nucleus.

It is rumored that only the people of the six cities have the nucleus, and the other tribes only have a very small number of them. And the box people, who have long been scattered all over the place, also have nuclear seeds?

In any case, if you find Gongjia Mountain, you may find the answer.

Like the forest in front, this place is like a strengthened version of the maze, there are many forks, and it is blocked by the mountain wall as he walks, and Shao Xuan is not easy to climb over directly. Now he can still remember the way he came, if he turned over. Who knows what the road will become?

Gong Jiaheng climbed the mountain wall, didn't jump over, just walked on the mountain, he didn't believe that he couldn't get out.

Shao Xuan can't succeed in divination now, and like the woods he walked through before, he doesn't have enough ability to divinate now. Therefore, you must make up for other things, go first by yourself, and maybe get more information to succeed in divination.

When he walked to the closed road for the third time, Gong Jiaheng sighed: "I once heard the old people of the tribe say that the Box River is a very special river. Now I finally see it. ”

The box river is naturally formed, not man-made, because of this, it is even more special, and now, the river is gone, the box river has become a box valley, into a natural labyrinth.

Looking up, it was a blue sky, so monotonous that you could barely see the clouds, and around you, there was a lonely valley full of death.

Along the way, Shao Xuan and Gong Jiaheng would mark the mountain wall, and after the sun went down, Gongjia Heng would no longer move forward, and he had to wait until after noon the next day to set off again.

"If we don't find it soon, we'll starve to death. "Gongjia Hengdao.

When they are in the woods, they will walk back to the original path, even if they are hungry, they can leave temporarily to look for food, but here, if they get lost, they can't return to the original route, and it is easy to be trapped in this valley, even if they jump up the mountain, they feel that they can definitely get out of the way by walking along a line from a high place, but they will unconsciously deviate from the direction while walking, which is a very strange feeling, and it is even easy to judge the wrong direction, because the sun in the sky is always changing, sometimes it is one, sometimes it suddenly becomes two, sometimes there will be more, and even if there is only one sun, what the eye sees is not necessarily correct。

In such a place, if the psychological quality is not strong, it is really difficult to survive.

For three days in a row, Shao Xuan and Gong Jiaheng walked in the box valley for three days, but there was still no harvest. Every day they only have half a day to look for it, according to what Gong Jiaheng said, they can go slower, but as long as the method is right. Unfortunately, there is nothing useful to gain.

In order to save consumption, in addition to the time of searching, they find a place to rest, reducing consumption can also save food, they bring a limited amount of jerky, it is impossible to last too long.

When they saw the closed road again, they saw a human skeleton there. I don't know how long this skeleton has existed here, it should still be a relatively powerful person, at least above the intermediate totem warrior level, otherwise, if it is an ordinary person, this skeleton can be shattered with a light knock.

According to the posture of the skeleton, this person seems to have raised his arms before he died, and roared with his back to the sky, even if the skin and flesh have long disappeared, Shao Xuan seems to be able to see the unwillingness of this person before he died.

"Now there are fewer and fewer people looking for Gongjia Mountain, just because most of the people who went to find it died, and very few were successful. Gong Jiaheng said.

This is only the first corpse, and later, Shao Xuan saw more skeletons, and someone carved words on the mountain wall, but probably because the years were too long, the weathering was serious, and they couldn't see clearly, so that the last words of these people before they died could not be told, and no one could know their identities. If you're lucky, you can guess a little bit from the rusty weapons, if the weapons are so rusty that you can't see the inscriptions on them clearly, then there's no way, no matter how majestic you are, you don't know who it is when you die.

Shao Xuan looked at the rusty weapons on the ground, got up and said to Gong Jiaheng with a heavy face: "You have to hurry, otherwise we will return along the road, we don't have much food with us." ”

"Well, if it doesn't work this time, I'll come back next time. Although he said this, Gong Jiaheng felt that the target seemed to be in front of him, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he went back like this, he himself was unwilling, no wonder those who died were in that posture, some people were too stubborn, and they were forced to die beyond their own ability, perhaps, most of them were starving to death.

How sad!

"Can you do it?" asked Gong Jiaheng.

Shao Xuan shook his head.

The look of anticipation in Gong Jiaheng's eyes turned into disappointment, and then he laughed at himself a little, he really went back more and more, didn't the box people rely on themselves, how could they pin their hopes on other people?

Looking at the sky, Gong Jiaheng said: "That's it for today, and continue tomorrow." He could calculate based on the sunlight and the shadows of the ground, as well as the stone divisions on the surrounding mountain walls, but the speed was too slow, and he might have starved to death before he could find Gongjia Mountain in this way.

Sitting on the ground dejectedly, Gong Jiaheng carefully took out a piece of jerky, drank some water from the pot, and thought about what to do next.

Shao Xuan was also thinking about it, and among the bones he saw today, he found some scattered skeletons that had been split, and Shao Xuan speculated that they were probably eaten by someone. When people are in a desperate situation, they will always do something unexpected, and Shao Xuan has seen a lot. The people who went to look for Gongjia Mountain had different personalities and personalities, and it was conceivable that they would do such a thing.

Shao Xuan didn't want to starve to death here, and he didn't want to chop Gongjiaheng here to eat human flesh, if he couldn't find it, he would go back directly, but since he was here, he had to try his best.

For some reason, the divination has not been successful, and Shao Xuan can only choose another method.

Feel it carefully, you are surrounded by the aura of death brought by the nucleus, but it is not easy to determine the direction.

Borrowing the totem flame in your mind?That's not good, this used to be the territory of the box people, and it has nothing to do with the flame horn, so the totem flame can't help.

Shao Xuan was about to calm the totemic power in his body, but found that a trace of power gathered on his neck and chest, and when he opened his eyes, Shao Xuan saw a little fire.

Taking out the elder bone ornament that was worn inside, Shao Xuan found that flames were coming out of the four bone ornaments, and now there was no wind, but the direction of the flames fluttering was all in one direction!

Gong Jiaheng closed his eyes and kept thinking, and when he opened his eyes when he noticed a strange movement, he saw a fire in Shao Xuan's hand, and the flame was still floating in one direction.

"It's ......"

"Go over there tomorrow. Shao Xuan stuffed the bone ornament back into his clothes, calmed the power of the totem in his body, and the flame on the bone ornament was extinguished.

Gong Jiaheng's eyes lit up, and he knew that Shao Xuan, this kid, must have a way!

Originally, he thought that he would go back if there was no progress, but now Gong Jiaheng feels that there is hope again.

The next day, still waiting for noon, the two set off, following the direction of the bone ornament flame, and at the same time, after a while, Gong Jiaheng would also quickly calculate it by himself to determine whether it was correct.

When the two of them passed by, Gong Jiaheng suddenly paused and said loudly: "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" asked Shao Xuan.

The flame was indeed pointing at this side before, Shao Xuan took out the bone ornament and planned to try it again, but he saw Gong Jiaheng take out a copper nail and stick it on the ground, then looked at the sky and asked Shao Xuan: "Is the sun in the sky right now?"

Shao Xuan nodded.

After confirming, Gong Jiaheng looked at the shadow of the copper nail cast on the ground, gestured on the ground, and then looked at the mountain wall on the side, and walked over according to the predicted direction.

Obviously not far from the mountain wall, Gong Jiaheng felt that every step was like a thousand catties, and the distance of more than ten meters was more than a minute, his throat was dry, and his eyes were a little trance.

Finally walked to the mountain wall, Gong Jiaheng looked at the mountain wall that seemed to be abnormal, put his hands against the wall, roared, and pushed with all his might.

Goo――

The sound of the stone door sliding sounded. (To be continued......)
