Chapter 6: The Ancient Corpse in the Cave

"Huh, huh" There was only the cold sound of the wind in his ears, and Lin Chen tried hard to open his eyes, but unfortunately the violent air flow made him unable to do it at all.

"Goodbye, father! goodbye, mother! goodbye Dai'er!" Lin Chen didn't know how long he was going to be, so while he was still able to think, hurry up and recall the good things that had been!

I don't know how long it took, and the sound of tree branches breaking and leather tearing pulled Lin Chen back from his memories.

"Hello hang!" Lin Chen clutched the only remaining half of the wild cowhide in his hand, looked down at the empty cliff under his feet, and secretly said that he was lucky.

Lin Chen was chased by the green fire wolf and had to jump off the cliff by himself, and the wild cowhide in his hand was rushed by the descending airflow, which somewhat slowed down the trend of Lin Chen's fall. And in the process of falling, this wild cowhide happened to be hung by a protruding ancient pine on the cliff, and after tearing half of the wild cowhide, he barely saved Lin Chen.

"Alas, thief God, you save people to the end! You said that you hung me in the air, what is the use of being half-dead, it is better to let me die directly" Lin Chen successfully climbed the ancient tree on the cliff with the help of the wild cowhide, leaning against the cold cliff wall, muttering to himself.

At this time, Lin Deyou was limping out of the mountain with an injured right leg, turning his head to look at the quiet mountain, and he swore that he would never go in again in this life, because there was something there that he never wanted to think about again.

Last night, in order to protect Lin Chen, he separated from Lin Chen early, originally planning to attract all three green fire wolves, who knew that Lin Chen actually cut his wrists and lured the three green fire wolves with blood, and in desperation, Lin Deyou could only deal with the green fire wolf in front of him with peace of mind.

Although Lin Deyou was seriously injured the day after tomorrow, he was once a hunter of the tribe after all, and his experience, skills, and even strength were far above Lin Chen. In addition, he faced a green fire wolf alone on the tree, and finally killed this green fire wolf after two hours of hard fighting.

But when he killed the green fire wolf and turned back to the ancient tree before he was about to join Lin Chen, he found that Lin Chen was not there at all, and the wild cowhide and horns were gone. Lin Deyou searched nearby all night and found a large number of traces of wild beasts, and followed these traces Lin Deyou to find the place where Lin Chen finally jumped off. Looking at the bottomless cliff, Lin Deyou was full of bitterness, and for a moment he seemed to be old, really old!

What Lin Deyou didn't know was that Lin Chen was not dead at this time, but it was almost the same as death.

Lin Chen wrapped the wild cowhide hanging on the tree around his body, barely warming his body. The cold wind that kept blowing up under the cliff had already made him a little unbearable, maybe it wouldn't be long before Lin Chen would freeze to death, or starve to death!

"Damn, since my Lin Chen's life should not be extinguished, then there is no reason to die here!" Lin Chen stood up tremblingly, moved his muscles and bones slightly, and began to look at the surrounding environment.

On the entire cliff, in addition to the ancient tree where Lin Chen is now, there is a cave not far from here, the entrance of the cave is blocked by a large number of drooping vines, barely revealing a gap, Lin Chen's eyes also scanned from that place three times before discovering the abnormality.

The entire cliff wall is overgrown with vines, and the branches and leaves on the vines will naturally rustle when blown by the cold wind below. But the vines in that place were a little different, and although they were constantly shaking, they were not shaking from side to side, but up and down.

At first, Lin Chen didn't care, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. Jitter up and down only indicates which vine is empty behind it, and there is air current, which will cause the vine to shake up and down. Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous cave behind the vines, and the entrance of the cave was exposed.

"But how am I going to get there?" Lin Chen looked at the cliff under his feet, frowning. The cave was about ten meters away from where Lin Chen was now, and Lin Chen was able to barely climb over with the help of the vines on these cliff walls. However, Lin Chen was only a twelve-year-old child, and now that his left arm was hanging on the lottery, it was definitely not an easy thing for him to climb in the air.

"That's it, instead of waiting for death here, it's better to give it a try, and it's a big deal to return this life to this thief!" Lin Chen wrapped the brute cowhide around his waist again, but this time he didn't protect his body, but tied it around his waist like a belt.

Lin Chen bit the dagger with his mouth, stood on Urson with his right foot, and tentatively stretched out his left foot to find balance. Grabbing a vine in each hand, he pulled it down vigorously to make sure that the vine could indeed support its weight. Fortunately, these vines are some years old, and they have been ravaged by the cold wind for many years, and those that can survive are some thick vines with strong vitality.

With both hands and his right foot, he slowly left the ancient tree, and finally the whole person hung on the cliff wall.

Lin Chen didn't dare to look down at all, his nostrils kept exhaling and inhaling, he originally wanted to shout to give himself courage, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he couldn't speak at all at this time, and as soon as he opened his mouth now, the dagger in his mouth had to fall.

"Nine, eight, seven"

Lin Chen continued to approach the cave with the help of the vines on the cliff wall, but every meter he moved had to consume a lot of energy, and he was already sweating profusely after a while

"It's fast, it's almost there, there's still two meters to go!" Lin Chen kept giving himself air, it seemed like it was only a short distance of eight meters, but Lin Chen felt like he had run eight thousand meters, and he couldn't lift up the slightest strength in his whole body, and his entire left and right arms were numb, and now he was completely supported by willpower.

The closer he got to the cave, the more clearly Lin Chen felt a warm air stream blowing out of the cave, hitting the vines at the entrance of the cave, and then spreading around.

"Hiss"

"That's the Spotted Snake!" Lin Chen grabbed the vine with both hands and reluctantly turned his head to look at a meter away. There was a green snake with white spots all over its body, the crimson snake star swallowed and spit out, and a pair of triangular eyes were staring at Lin Chen.

Snakes are yin, and they like to live in places where the temperature is relatively high, and only this cave blows warm currents from the cliffs here, and it is normal for snakes to be nearby.

"Hiss" The spotted snake cocked half of its body, and the snake's head rushed forward, constantly hissing at Lin Chen.

"Damn, it's coming, it's going to happen again!, let's fight!" Lin Chen looked at the cave two meters away, and then at the spotted snake. Suddenly, his feet kicked on the cliff, and the whole person changed from the original state of sticking to the cliff to staying away from the cliff, and then the vines in his hands were long enough, and Lin Chen swung in mid-air.

Approaching the cliff again, Lin Chen's feet were already prepared, bent his knees and kicked his legs, and flew out again, and so on three times, Lin Chen's swing distance reached three meters away.

"Ah!" After swinging out again, Lin Chen looked at the direction, suddenly let go, and the whole person flew straight out, straight to the entrance of the cave.

And the spotted snake swayed with Lin Chen, and the snake's head continued to adjust its position. Suddenly, the entire snake body was like an arrow feather, and it swooped straight into Lin Chen in the air.

A large number of vine branches and leaves snapped, tumbling and falling off the cliff.

"Damn beast, you dare to bite me!" Lin Chen, who successfully rushed into the cave with the help of vines, was extremely annoyed, and his right hand strangled the head of the spotted snake on his left arm, and with a snake tooth on his thumb, he finally took the spotted snake off his arm.

The whole body of the spotted snake that was stuck in the head rolled up, wrapped around Lin Chen's right arm, and tightened it tighter and tighter.

Lin Chen picked up the dagger on the ground with his left hand, and cut it along the third point under the head of the spotted snake, and the entire spotted snake suddenly turned out, and the crimson snake blood gushed out.

I have to say that the vitality of this spotted snake is indeed very strong, even if it was disemboweled, it still took half an hour before it completely died.

"Hehe, there is just meat to eat, but it's a pity that there is no fire, otherwise the roasted snake meat is also delicious!" Lin Chen fiddled with the spotted snake in his hand, he was already exhausted at this time, and continued to replenish his strength. The spotted snake in front of him is the best food, even if there is no Huo Linchen who has eaten snake meat with relish, it is normal for hunters to swallow some raw meat in the wild sometimes

Half a day later, Lin Chen leaned against the stone wall behind the cave and barely regained some strength. The spotted snake just now is actually not poisonous at all, and the reason why it is called a spotted snake is only because of its white spots.

The reason why Lin Chen was worried at that time was because although this snake was non-venomous, its bite was not ambiguous at all. In his situation at the time, if he was bitten by a spotted snake, it was estimated that it would really hurt so much that he would let go directly. The result of loosening the vine was to fall off the cliff, and Lin Chen didn't think that he would have such good luck to be caught by the ancient tree again.

Lin Chen, who had regained his strength, dragged his scarred legs, held the stone wall of the cave with his left hand, and held the dagger in his right hand, and walked inward with the faint light from the lactating bell stone at the top of the cave.

The whole cave is not long, it is only more than ten meters, and along the way, Lin Chen found that this is not a natural cave at all, but more like an artificial dug the day after tomorrow. Who would come here to dig a cave? What kind of person would be the person who could dig a cave more than ten meters long on the cliff? The more Lin Chen walked into the cave, the more curious he became.

At the very back of the cave is a dozen square stone chambers, which are covered with dust, and it is clear that no one has been here for a long time.

There was only a stone bed and a few pieces of wooden furniture that had long since decayed, and a stone box of unknown use was left empty in the corner of the stone room. And at the place where the stone room connects to the walkway, there is a stone tablet, and the stone tablet is densely engraved with many small characters in seal style.

However, Lin Chen was not interested in the words on the stone tablet, because his whole mind was attracted by the skeleton on the stone bed.

There was a skeleton sitting on the stone bed, yes, just sitting upright, just like an old monk sitting with his legs crossed! The skeleton's mouth was closed, its weathered hair left black lines on its pale head, his hands were placed on his left and right knees, and he was wearing a green and white soap robe, and he didn't know what material this soap robe was, and it had not rotted after so many years. Judging by the fact that the bones have long since turned white and appeared spots, this skeleton has been here for at least two hundred years!

"Could it be that he is the one who dug this cave? How could he die here? Here and there? Since he has the ability to open a cave here, he must have the ability to get out! The exit is there?" For a while, countless questions collided with each other in Lin Chen's mind, and then evolved into countless questions.
