Chapter 8 Caving

It was a whirlpool that wasn't turbulent, and the branches were firmly tied in the middle, unable to advance for half a minute.

Seeing the prospect, Xiang Jiuxi determined that the entrance of the river into the ground was here, because only when the water was turbulent and straight down could such a vortex be formed.

Xiang Jiuxi used a long branch to test it, and sure enough, the water in this place was much deeper than other places, at least it could not reach the top of his head.

"I'm really blinded, this river really flows into the ground!"

In his excitement, he immediately discovered the problem, this entrance was extremely narrow, and it was impossible for him to dive down from here, and his wish was still disappointed in the end.

However, there is no end to the road, and things are not without a turnaround.

In his memory, the interior of the crypt was crisscrossed and extremely complex, and he didn't have time to find out the whole situation, so he was delayed because of other things, so he could only hastily seal the materials inside.

The entrance left behind back then can no longer be found, and it must have collapsed a long time ago, so ...... Is it possible that the hole under the bluestone plaque is another entrance to the cave?

Although this was the only way out in front of him, before exploring, he wanted to figure out one thing - what exactly was the glowing thing in the cave.

After calming down, Xiang Jiuxi made the most reasonable judgment: it should be the traces of the residence of the original owner of the crypt.

A creature that can create a crypt of this size is probably not a character to be messed with, and he is really not sure that he can handle it.

However, without the blessing of supplies, it would be impossible for him to pass the road of death.

It's okay to say something else, you can add it slowly, and what he urgently needs most at the moment is transportation.

That's right, in order to facilitate transportation, he specially left a motorcycle in the cave with two barrels of diesel fuel. With these things, the time he spends on the road can be greatly reduced, and the corresponding risk factor can also be minimized.

Without a motorcycle, it would have taken him at least three days to reach his destination, and the odds of surviving were simply 1 in 10,000.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, Xiang Jiuxi is in a dilemma, and he can't make a decision for a long time.

There was no point in continuing to spend time here, he was determined, and suddenly roared as if venting: "It's decided to explore the cave!" ”

He would rather face the creatures in the crypt than the long darkness on the road!

Thorn -

Xiang Jiuxi ripped off another strip of cloth from his clothes, which were not wealthy.

Whoa—

He placed the strip of cloth on the ground and enthusiastically watered it with 37° circulating water in his body.

Then, he held back his nausea, blocked his mouth and nose with a strip of cloth, and came to the bluestone door plaque again.

If conditions permit, he would prefer to use a wet towel instead of this step, but the river behind him was so stinky that he really didn't have the courage to use it indiscriminately, but he had to take some anti-poison measures.

Under the trade-off, this is the only way to make a decision.

Removing the bluestone door plaque, a huge hole appeared in front of him.

The cave was still glowing with a faint blue light, and Xiang Jiuxi was lying at the entrance of the cave, poking his head out and looking inside, trying to find some valuable information.

What catches your eye is a long, narrow passage straight down, with lights at the end of the passage, apparently on the edge of the blue light, and there should be an open space in the depths where the light source comes from.

There are also many claw marks around the entrance of the cave, which are mostly traces left by the "original owner" of the cave.

The claw marks are distributed with five fingers, and unlike the sharp claws of most beasts of prey, the tips of the nails are relatively smooth, similar to those of humans.

"Could it be...... Is it an ape? ”

Xiang Jiuxi muttered in his heart, he really couldn't think of what kind of animal this was.

But whatever, even a cow has to eat people these days, what else is impossible? No matter what cows, horses, ghosts and gods live down here, he has made this hole!

With such a spirit, Xiang Jiuxi carefully searched for three more circles along the riverbed.

……

"Well, it seems...... There's no other way. Eventually, he had to accept the fact that there was no other entrance, and once again came to the cave in disgrace.

This time, though, he made some preparations.

While searching for the hole, he was lucky enough to pick up a rusty fruit knife, and after careful polishing, the blade regained its luster.

Xiang Jiuxi knew that the animal's attack range was very limited, only its own arm length, so it was taboo to fight it in close quarters.

In order to limit the attack of the "original owner" of the cave, he found a sturdy wooden stick and tied the fruit knife tightly to the stick with a strip of cloth to make a "spear".

In any case, the spear gave him a lot of courage, and when he came to the mouth of the cave again, he was no longer so afraid.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Jiuxi first put the spear into the cave, and then rushed down with his big head and drilled in.

The cave is vertically downward, about ten meters long, and there are many hollows dug in the four walls, just enough to hold hands and feet, like a staircase, which should be the masterpiece of the original owner for easy access.

Based on the distance between the grooves, he deduced that the crypt organisms were about a meter long, and that they needed to climb out of the tunnels with the help of the hollows, proving that the strength of the limbs was not developed.

So the question is, how did a creature with no well-developed limbs and flat nails dig underground works of such a scale?

With such a question, Xiang Jiuxi drilled to the end of the tunnel, and two or three meters under his feet was a spacious open space, and the blue light was much brighter than the entrance of the cave.

He covered his head with a spear and quietly poked out half of his head, wanting to see what was inside.

The whole space is not huge, only the size of a bedroom, and the walls are not boxy, but an irregular shape, and even the ground is potholed.

What made Xiang Jiuxi excited was that there were two different tunnel entrances on the side wall of the space, which was completely consistent with his inference, and through these two tunnels, he should be able to find the storage room of the year.

However, there is also an unexpected situation, there is no light source here, the whole space is quite empty, there is nothing on display, and if you listen carefully, you can only hear the extremely faint sound of running water.

The light source is one of the tunnels from the side wall.

The entrance to the cave where he was located was close to the side of the wall, and the grooves in the tunnel extended to the ground, revealing that the owner of the cave had carefully built a "staircase to enter the house".

The two tunnels were located on the left and right sides of him, and the entrance to the right was swaying with a bright blue light, illuminating the entire space very brightly.

For Xiang Jiuxi, this is undoubtedly great news, because the entrance of the cave is still two or three meters high from the ground, and he must first find a way to land before he can enter the combat state, if this gap is attacked, he will not be able to deal with it at the first time.

The current situation has undoubtedly given him plenty of time to prepare.

Just as he adjusted his posture and was about to land, a warm breath suddenly came from his neck.

Xiang Jiuxi subconsciously turned his head, and happened to bump into an extremely distorted skeleton ghost face, lying on his neck and smiling hideously!
