Chapter 100: The Mysterious Cave

When he was worried about himself, he suddenly found that the strange snake at the bottom of the cliff was still twitching and moving, and saw that there were a few pieces of gravel at the exit of the cave, so he moved the gravel and threw it down.

The largest piece of bluestone weighed twenty or thirty pounds, and Ji Qiu threw the bluestone down, impartially, and hit the head of the strange snake.

The strange snake was already seriously injured and dying, but this time it was hit by a bluestone, and it was directly paralyzed and breathless, and it was a whimper.

Seeing the monster snake killed, Ji Qiu stomped his feet angrily, sighed again and again, he moved the bluestone not to kill the monster snake, but to scare it away, the scales of the monster snake are red, very conspicuous, it is easy to be seen outside the waterfall, if Xiao Leizi and others find it close, they can also find the body of the monster snake, but if they die in the water curtain, it will not be, and it cannot be seen outside.

The sound of the waterfall roared, and even the shouts for help could not be heard by anyone outside.

Looking down further, there are still fifty or sixty zhang from the ground here, even if it is an open place, such a height is more auspicious to jump, not to mention that the waterfall is not flat, and the stone wall is not flat, even if you jump down, you can't fall vertically to the bottom of the valley, and you will be washed away by the waterfall halfway.

No, there is no place to focus, and there is a lot of moss on the stone wall, which is very slippery.

Just when I was helpless, I suddenly remembered that I still had a five-element plate on my body, but I felt empty when I lowered my hand and touched my waist, and the waist bag was gone, and the five-element plate was originally contained in the waist bag.

He couldn't remember what the waist bag was missing, it could have been lost during the run, it could have been lost underwater, or it could have been thrown away when he took off the robe, and at the critical moment, he only thought that the weapon could not be thrown away, but he ignored the waist bag.

Recall carefully, after throwing away the robe, I didn't hear the sound of the sound worm again, and it was likely that he threw away the waist bag and the five-element plate when he threw away the robe.

In either case, in short, there is no more, and this road will not work.

After standing for a long time, Ji Qiu turned his head to look at the cave behind him, this cave located behind the water curtain was very deep, and there was another exit at the end of the cave.

Although the water curtain blocked the light, but he could already see at night at this time, so he dared to explore the inside of the cave, before he and the strange snake entangled from the entrance of the cave, making a lot of noise, if there were still the same kind of strange snakes in the cave, it should have rushed out a long time ago, it stands to reason that there should be no more danger in the cave.

The cave was bigger than Ji Qiu expected, and the more you walked inside, the more spacious it became, and after advancing a few zhang, white bones began to appear, and because of the very old age, the bones had become crispy and rotten, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a human skeleton or the skeleton of a beast.

Two feet further, Ji Qiu suddenly found a weapon next to a pile of white bones, this white bone was also very rotten and had fallen apart, but it could be seen through the skeleton that this was a human corpse.

The weapon next to the bone pile was a long sword, a broken sword to be exact, the owner of this broken sword should have been dead for many years, the body of the sword was mottled and the rust was very bad.

In addition to the broken sword, there were some blackened silver coins and a few porcelain bottles in the pile of white bones, Ji Qiu picked up the silver coin, and took the porcelain bottle to see, this porcelain bottle should have contained the pill before, but the years were too long, the cork was rotten, and the pill in the porcelain bottle was also damp and rotten.

At this time, Ji Qiu had already walked in about five zhang, and he still couldn't see the end of the cave, but as far as he could see, there were white bones everywhere, none of which were complete bones, mainly distributed on the left and right sides, and the reason why there were no white bones in the middle of the passage was undoubtedly caused by the strange snake squeezing and trampling in and out.

To determine whether the white bones belong to humans or beasts, you only need to look at the skull, human skeletons are easy to identify, and bones that are not skeletons naturally belong to beasts.

On closer inspection, at least half of the bones on both sides of the stone wall belong to humans.

Because there were silver coins and other things scattered and buried in the bone pile, Ji Qiu did not rush to explore inside, but rummaged left and right, in addition to silver coins, there were gold and exquisite jade ornaments and other things, but the most were weapons, there were common weapons such as swords, as well as heavy weapons such as axes, some weapons were still intact, but most of them had been rusted and damaged.

At this point, Ji Qiu became more and more puzzled, something was wrong, this is a sparsely populated cave state, no one will come here on weekdays, occasionally someone comes and falls into the water and is captured by a strange snake, but it is not normal for so many people to die here, according to the weapons and belongings, these people are not woodcutters and mountain people, but people who practice qi and martial arts, why do so many people who practice martial arts die here?

I had doubts in my heart, so I learned the post-mortem to examine the bones, although I was not good at learning, but I could also see the clues, all the skeletons have two small holes, these two small holes are directly pierced through the skull, smashing open the two skulls, the inside is empty, there is no brain.

Thinking of the two long fangs that were revealed when the strange snake screamed before, a bloody scene appeared in Ji Qiu's mind, could it be that the brains of these people were sucked up by the strange snake.

Thinking of this, I smashed a few more, but there was still no remnant of the cerebral marrow.

At first, he didn't care, but soon he realized that the small holes in the skulls were not at the same distance from each other, the longest was almost a pinch, and the shortest was only about three inches.

This discovery sent chills down his spine, suggesting that there was more than one strange snake in the cave.

But after thinking about it, it's not right, if there were other strange snakes, they would have come out a long time ago, and they wouldn't have waited until now.

Puzzled, pondered, and suddenly realized, took a few skeletons and compared them, the narrower the distance between the small holes on the top of the head, the more serious the decay and crisping, and the skull with a larger distance between the two small holes on the top of the head is relatively hard, so it can be seen that these people did not die in the same period, they were all killed by the same strange snake, but as time went by, the size of the strange snake became larger and larger, and the distance between the two fangs became wider and wider.

One question disappears, and another question arises, you must know that the cave state is located in the north, the temperature is relatively low, and the growth rate of snakes and insects is relatively slow, this strange snake is so huge, I am afraid that it will take at least hundreds of years, and this skeleton that can be seen everywhere indicates that during the time when the strange snake is entrenched here, people enter this cave from time to time, what are they doing?

No, no one comes to this place on weekdays, and no one lives in a radius of hundreds of miles, and strange snakes will not harm people and animals, since they are not harmful, how can we talk about eliminating harm? Take a step back and say that even if strange snakes harm people and some people come to eliminate harm for the people, it is impossible to cover the news, these people are all people who practice qi and martial arts, and it is impossible for them to have no sect commanders, and if they are killed, someone will always come to avenge them.

Even if no one can defeat this strange snake, it will definitely be known to everyone, everyone knows that there is a strange snake that cannot be provoked here, it is impossible for the Soul Suppression Alliance not to know, if they know about this matter, they will definitely warn the people who are on this trip, so that everyone will pay attention to avoid it, but no one reminds them.

Since it is not for the people to eliminate harm, what are these people doing here? There is only one possibility, that is, no one knows that they died here, in other words, they all came secretly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Qiu suddenly thought of a possibility, these people took the initiative to come here, probably to get something in the cave, and they didn't want others to know about it, they all came secretly, so there was no news of death here.

Thinking of this, he fixed his eyes on the depths of the cave, which was dark and deep, and there was no end in sight.

Such a deep cave aggravated Ji Qiu's doubts, what was there in this......
