Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hidden Cave
It is not known how high the cliff is, but it is certain that it must be very steep, because the sound of the rumbling water is there, and there is no drop of dozens of zhang, and it is impossible to have such a big sound of water.
In other words, no one wants to fall by themselves, and Ji Qiu is no exception, but after a while of fluttering, he still couldn't swim out, just because the closer to the cliff, the greater the suction of the current, and finally he fell.
People can only exert their potential to the extreme when they are cornered, and there is another reason why Ji Qiu can't swim out, that is, the height of dozens of zhang is not a great threat to him, and even if he falls, he can't fall to his death.
The moment he fell, Ji Qiu found that he had made a mistake in his estimation, the height of the cliff was far more than dozens of zhang, at least hundreds of zhang, the most important thing is that the following is not the common kind of large pools of water, but many small pools, between the pools and the pools are all of different sizes, uneven sharp stone pillars, the reason for this situation is likely to be because the drop is too large, the upstream river water was blown by the wind when falling, failed to land vertically, and the days were long, and this strange landform was washed out.
Ji Qiu was already flustered, seeing this situation, he became more and more nervous, he couldn't die if he fell into the water, and it was difficult to say if he fell on a stone.
If it was just an ordinary cliff, with Ji Qiu's aura cultivation at this time, he could barely adjust his body shape and land safely, but this was a waterfall, a large amount of river water poured down, and he couldn't help himself under the pressure, not only could he not stabilize his body, but the speed of falling was getting faster and faster.
Just when Ji Qiu's soul was in danger, he suddenly felt that something was holding him up and stopping the fall, Ji Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, needless to say, it must have been Xiao Leizi who arrived in time and drove the three-legged golden toad to spit out his long tongue and save him.
But as soon as this thought came to mind, he realized that things did not seem to be what he had imagined, because the vigorous drag did not come from outside the waterfall, but from the stone wall inside the waterfall.
The heart that had just been put down was instantly lifted again, and since it was not the long tongue of the three-legged golden toad, it must be something else, no matter what it was, it could not be benevolent.
Because the water blocked the view, he could not see the inside of the stone wall, so he could only look down at his waist in a hurry, and he could vaguely see that there were two circles of red things tied to his waist, not ropes or chain belts, and according to its decreasing shape, it was very likely to be a snake tail.
When Ji Qiu looked down, the snake tail had already begun to be recovered, and Ji Qiu had nowhere to focus in mid-air, and he couldn't resist, and when he was taken away from the water curtain, he found that there was a dark cave on the stone wall behind the waterfall, and the red tail that wrapped himself was extending from the depths of the cave.
Before, he only suspected that it was a snake tail that caught him, but at this time he was already convinced that it was a snake tail, although he didn't see the appearance of a giant snake, but judging from the length and thickness of the snake tail, it was still a giant poisonous snake that he had never encountered before.
It was a giant snake that chased him from the purple bamboo forest before, and now he met another one, what kind of bird is this, why are there so many poisonous snakes.
At this time, Ji Qiu had been pulled near the entrance of the cave, lest he be dragged into the cave and swallowed alive, so he hurriedly climbed the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the snake's tail.
It's good that he doesn't struggle, the more he struggles, the tighter the snake's tail is coiled, and the more force he drags.
People will burst out of great potential at the moment of life and death, although Ji Qiu was swept out of breath, but tightly grabbed the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, at this time can not let go, once he is involved in the cave, there will be no physiology.
Ji Qiu had already cultivated with the spirit void at this time, and with the help of qi, the giant snake in the cave failed to drag it into the cave for a while, but only intensified its entanglement and struggled to drag.
Although Ji Qiu was not dragged into the cave for the time being, he knew very well in his heart that he would not last long, and he still hung the moon-long knife that Ji Ling'er gave him before, but now he needed to grasp the stone wall with both hands, and he couldn't free up his hand to draw the knife and slash, and as long as he let go, he would be dragged into the cave by the giant snake immediately.
It's just that at this moment, Ji Qiu's face is already flushed, it is not a way to go on like this, you still have to try to pull out the knife, and if you delay it any longer, I am afraid that I will not even have the strength to draw the knife.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, his hands were loose, his right hand drooped, and he held the hilt of the knife.
At this time, he had been dragged into the cave by the snake's tail, but although he held the hilt, he could not pull out the knife, because the snake's tail wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and the long knife was also involved in it, and the scabbard was compressed and deformed, and the long knife was jammed.
After failing to try, he clasped his hands together and pulled out with all his might, and finally pulled out the long knife.
When he pulled out the long knife, he had been lifted from the ground by the snake's tail into the air, and it was at this moment that he saw the strange snake in the cave, saying that it was a snake because it had a snake's head, and that it was strange because it had four claws.
At this juncture, no matter what it is, swing the knife with all his strength and slash at the snake tail, this moon-chasing knife is the weapon used by Ji Lianyu when he was young, it is very strange, the blade is narrow, extremely sharp, and the snake tail will be cut off in an instant with a knife.
The snake's tail was broken, Ji Qiu fell down from a height, although the snake tail was separated from the snake body, it did not stretch out, and the strange snake made a strange cry like killing a chicken, and Ji Qiu's soul was frightened, and he didn't think much about it, he got up in a panic, jumped up, and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
At the moment of life and death, I can't think about the consequences of falling, I may not live if I fall, but I will definitely die if I am caught by this strange snake.
Ji Qiu was prepared for the worst, but he failed to break out of the cave, because of the heavy snake tail wrapped around his waist twice, his body was not as agile as before, and he was not more than a foot away from the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that the entrance of the cave was in front of him, Ji Qiu hurriedly turned over and grabbed the entrance of the cave, and just wanted to rush out, but at this moment, the injured strange snake jumped out of the cave and fell to the edge of the hole.
The strange snake rushed out of the hole to catch Ji Qiu, but he lost his tail, his body was unstable, and after landing, his feet slipped, and he slid out of the hole under the drive of inertia.
Sensing that he was about to fall off a cliff, the snake scratched in panic to stop its momentum.
Ji Qiu was nearby, and when he saw the sharp claws of the strange snake scratching in front of him, he hurriedly rolled on the spot and tried his best to dodge for fear of being caught and dragged down by it.
The strange snake scratched several times, but failed to catch anything to cling to, leaving a few deep scratches at the entrance of the cave, and fell into the waterfall with a scream.
At this time, the snake tail wrapped around Ji Qiu's waist had been loosened, but it was not stiff, and seeing that the broken tail was still winding and winding, Ji Qiu hurriedly kicked it out.
Although he did not die, Ji Qiu was afraid, and he leaned against the stone wall and gasped.
After steady, he carefully walked to the entrance of the cave and grabbed the stone wall to look down, only to find that the strange snake had not fallen to its death, but rushed over the waterfall from under the cliff, came to the waterless stone wall with four paws and climbed upward.
Seeing this situation, Ji Qiu was furious, clenched the long knife, and was on guard.
But the strange snake had its tail cut off before, and it seemed that it had also been seriously injured after falling off the cliff, and it only climbed more than two feet high before it was exhausted and collapsed under the cliff.
Seeing this, Ji Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that the stone wall in the waterfall was covered with moss and could not climb, he began to worry again, this strange snake is dead, but how can he get out of here......
